About our grease filter exchange in Bogle
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Bogle, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are filter washing that keeps being missed and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
In a village or hamlet like Bogle, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- An extract that was undersized from the start

Why it’s worth doing now in Bogle
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bogle rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Bogle
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Historic houses near Bogle, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 4 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Bogle
The coast is only about 3 miles from Bogle. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bogle. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Bogle falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
FAQs for Bogle
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bogle?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bogle. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bogle?
That is Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bogle. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
