How we handle grease filter exchange in Broomfield
An exchange visit in Broomfield doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include missing filters in the filter bank and staff short of time to wash filters, across mesh filters, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Broomfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Broomfield wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Broomfield
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Broomfield and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Broomfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Grease filter exchange around Broomfield
Look up Broomfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Broomfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Food hygiene inspections in Broomfield are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Broomfield. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Broomfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broomfield (Leeds Castle is about 0.4 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or pictures and we will quote quickly.
Where do the greasy filters go?
