About our grease filter exchange in East Farleigh
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as East Farleigh, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

What else we do in East Farleigh
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

FAQs for East Farleigh
Do you clean school canteen extracts around East Farleigh out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of East Farleigh. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work overnight in East Farleigh?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in East Farleigh needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you work in East Farleigh?
Yes. We work in East Farleigh and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Why deal with it now?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. A planned visit to East Farleigh is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

What we’re called out for in East Farleigh
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Farleigh Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
