About our grease filter exchange in Dunn Street
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We’re often asked to deal with missing filters in the filter bank and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, on school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Dunn Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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 is our job.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Dunn Street and across Medway. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Dunn Street.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Dunn Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Questions from Dunn Street
Who inspects food businesses in Dunn Street?
The local authority for Dunn Street is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Dunn Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Dunn Street is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
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.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Dunn Street wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Dunn Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Dunn Street
Look up Dunn Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Dunn Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Kitchens in Dunn Street get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Dunn Street is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Swingate Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like KIMS hospital, about 2.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Dunn Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
