About our grease filter exchange in Crockhurst Street
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, across island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters.
In a small place like Crockhurst Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Questions from Crockhurst Street
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Crockhurst Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Crockhurst Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Crockhurst Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Crockhurst Street keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. 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 regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Crockhurst Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

When to call us in Crockhurst Street
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 2.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
