About our grease filter exchange in Brandfold
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you are dealing with blocked baffle filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help.
Work in a small place like Brandfold starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Brandfold
Will you come out to Brandfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Brandfold?
Brandfold is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones on the visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Grease, kitchens and Brandfold
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Brandfold and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Brandfold, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Brandfold is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Brandfold, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Brandfold?
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Historic houses near Brandfold, such as Scotney Castle about 3.5 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
