What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Eastwood
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about damaged filters letting grease past and grease dripping from the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Eastwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Eastwood can be planned properly.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Eastwood rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Eastwood questions
Can the work in Eastwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Eastwood doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastwood?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eastwood. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you work in Eastwood?
Yes. We work in Eastwood and across Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What else we do in Eastwood
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Eastwood kitchens: local notes
Eastwood, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Eastwood. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 3.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Eastwood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
