Kitchen extracts in Burmarsh
Sea air reaches Burmarsh, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burmarsh. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Burmarsh is covered by 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.
Historic houses near Burmarsh, such as Westenhanger Castle about 3.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Burmarsh
Across Burmarsh, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help, from island canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Burmarsh.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Burmarsh questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burmarsh?
The local authority for Burmarsh is Folkestone and Hythe council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Burmarsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote quickly.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Common problems we fix in Burmarsh
Wherever you are, Burmarsh included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Burmarsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Burmarsh
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Why it’s worth doing now in Burmarsh
Some kitchens in Burmarsh wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. If the system at a site near Burmarsh fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
