Kent · Grease filter exchange
Frant grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Frant. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
About our grease filter exchange in Frant
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you’re dealing with a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy that drips grease, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Frant, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Frant can be planned properly.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Why act early in Frant
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Frant is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Frant
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange around Frant
In Frant, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Frant, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Frant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 3.5 miles south-east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital is the nearest hospital to Frant, about 2.5 miles north.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Frant
Can the work in Frant be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Frant doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Frant?
In Frant, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Frant
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
