Grease Filter Exchange in Conyer
Grease filter exchange for commercial sites in Conyer and across Kent. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Grease filter exchange in Conyer, done properly
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, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing.
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.
Duct Doctor has 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’re fully insured.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Conyer?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Weak extraction at the canopy
In and around Conyer, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
Part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Why it’s worth doing now in Conyer
In Conyer, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Somewhere as small as Conyer, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Conyer
Grease filter exchange in Conyer: the local picture
Conyer is within about 1 mile 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. Kitchens in Conyer get their food hygiene inspections from Swale 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Conyer. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Conyer, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Conyer knowing what to expect.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Conyer
Will you come out to Conyer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Conyer after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Conyer needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep every filter in place during service
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
