Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Further Quarter
Across Further Quarter, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease collecting in the filter channels and poor airflow through the filters.
In a small place like Further Quarter, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Further Quarter
Further Quarter: your questions answered
Can the work in Further Quarter be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Further Quarter needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Further Quarter?
Yes, Further Quarter is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Further Quarter, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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. That is our job.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Further Quarter?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 4.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
