Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Fairseat
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Fairseat
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have grease building up behind the canopy filters and damaged filters letting grease past, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Fairseat, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Fairseat
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Fairseat, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Fairseat get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Fairseat. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 4.5 miles south), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wrotham School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Which fire service covers Fairseat?

Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Fairseat
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Blocked baffle filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Fairseat, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. The timing of a visit to Fairseat is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
