About our grease filter exchange in Bossingham
An exchange visit in Bossingham does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and people most often call us about drips falling from the filters onto equipment and staff short of time to wash filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Bossingham, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bossingham now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Kitchen extracts in Bossingham
Bossingham is about 55 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Bossingham. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bossingham (Acrise Place is about 4.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bossingham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Bossingham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
What we’re called out for in Bossingham
Kitchens in Bossingham, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bossingham is Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 4.7 miles north.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Bossingham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bossingham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bossingham?
Kitchens in Bossingham are inspected by Canterbury City council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.

What else we do in Bossingham
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
