Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Broomhill
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Broomhill on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and staff short of time to wash filters, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Broomhill 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Broomhill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Martins Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broomhill, about 4.8 miles west.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Broomhill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters

Broomhill: your questions answered
Can the work in Broomhill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broomhill needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Broomhill?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broomhill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We will confirm it with the quote.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, alongside our reports.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Broomhill
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broomhill. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Broomhill sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Broomhill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Broomhill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.5 miles south), access may need planning.
