Grease filter exchange in Brogdale
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are filters that leave gaps in the canopy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Work in a small place like Brogdale starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brogdale
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Brogdale
Do you cover smaller places like Brogdale?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brogdale included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Brogdale after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Brogdale can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Grease, kitchens and Brogdale
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Brogdale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Brogdale. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Brogdale is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Belmont House and Gardens, about 2.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Brogdale; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Brogdale, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Near you in Brogdale
In Brogdale, that means kitchens and buildings near The Alma pub and The Abbey School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Faversham station, roughly 1.3 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Newnham Castle (3 miles west).
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brogdale
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brogdale and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
