Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
About our grease filter exchange in Colliers Green
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. Typical jobs include a greasy plenum behind the filters and grease filters clogged with grease, across wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 are fully insured.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work

What happens if it’s left?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. A fault that closes a site in a village like Colliers Green affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Colliers Green
Colliers Green is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. The fire and rescue service for Colliers Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Colliers Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Colliers Green (Scotney Castle is about 4.9 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 5.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

FAQs for Colliers Green
Do you cover smaller places like Colliers Green?
Yes. Colliers Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Colliers Green?
Kitchens in Colliers Green are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Colliers Green.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. That’s our job.
