Will I get paperwork for my records?

Grease filter exchange in Egerton
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you’re dealing with damaged filters letting grease past and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Egerton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Egerton
Grease filter exchange in Egerton: the local picture
Egerton is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Egerton get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Egerton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Egerton Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Egerton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Egerton
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep every filter in place during service
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Why it’s worth doing now in Egerton
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s simpler to plan the work at Egerton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
