About our grease filter exchange in Chambers' Green
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and 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.

Chambers' Green questions
Can you come to Chambers' Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Chambers' Green keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chambers' Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Chambers' Green are carried out by Ashford council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chambers' Green
In Chambers' Green, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Chambers' Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Chambers' Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Chambers' Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Chambers' Green are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you cook for passing trade around Pluckley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Chambers' Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 3.7 miles east), access may need planning.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Chambers' Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
