Grease filter exchange across Folly Town

Grease filter exchange in Folly Town

We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Folly Town on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.

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.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Report a dripping canopy early
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Make sure no filter is left out
  • 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 let us know of any changes to opening hours.

Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Folly Town

Can you get to a site in Folly Town?

Yes, Folly Town is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Which environmental health team covers Folly Town?

Food hygiene inspections in Folly Town are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.

What types of filter do you exchange?

We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?

We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

What a clean won’t put right

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
  • A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
  • A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work

  • Mesh filters
  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Baffle filters
  • Wall canopies
  • Island canopies
  • Restaurants and pubs

Part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though typically at a gentler pace.

Mesh filters

Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Any previous report or certificate

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

The process

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Folly Town can be planned properly.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

Before we arrive

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
