What affects the quote in Deerton Street
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system

Grease filter exchange in Deerton Street
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Common call-outs are for missing filters in the filter bank and grease dripping from the canopy, on mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Deerton Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Deerton Street knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
When to call us in Deerton Street
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Deerton Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first

Questions from Deerton Street
Which fire service covers Deerton Street?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Deerton Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Deerton Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Deerton Street is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you protect the area?
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.
Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
