About our grease filter exchange in Cliffs End
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled straight away. We’re often asked to deal with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, across mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
In a small place like Cliffs End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Cliffs End kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Cliffs End is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Cliffs End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Cliffs End get their food hygiene inspections from Thanet council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chilton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. For kitchens close to Thanet Parkway station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cliffs End
For any kitchen in Cliffs End, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Cliffs End, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

FAQs for Cliffs End
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Cliffs End out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cliffs End. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Cliffs End within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cliffs End is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we’ll adjust it.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
When to call us in Cliffs End
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary or anywhere around Cliffs End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
