- A canopy that drips grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease filter exchange in Eythorne
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right, from wall canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Eythorne?
Kitchens in Eythorne, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the visit 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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Eythorne and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Eythorne: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Eythorne?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Eythorne. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Eythorne?
Yes, Eythorne is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eythorne
Some kitchens in Eythorne 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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Eythorne affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Full insurance on every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Eythorne
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Eythorne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eythorne. 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. Eythorne is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Eythorne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
