Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Grease filter exchange in Frinsted
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. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you are dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help, from wall canopies, island canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
In a small place like Frinsted, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Frinsted
Frinsted 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. We cover Frinsted, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles or elsewhere in Frinsted, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 4 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Frinsted
Which fire service covers Frinsted?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Frinsted after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Frinsted keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. A fault that closes a site in a village like Frinsted affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Frinsted can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
