Grease filter exchange in Danaway, done properly
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 and the canopy is refilled right away. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and blocked baffle filters, on school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
In a small place like Danaway, 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.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What affects the quote in Danaway
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What else we do in Danaway
Grease, kitchens and Danaway
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Danaway. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Danaway sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Danaway. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Danaway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Borden Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Danaway is about 3 miles west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We carry out grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Danaway and the rest of Kent. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Danaway among them. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 8 miles away.

What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
FAQs for Danaway
Can you work in Danaway outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Danaway does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Danaway?
Kitchens in Danaway are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Danaway, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
