What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Grease filter exchange in Great Mongeham, done properly
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are missing filters in the filter bank and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Work in a small place like Great Mongeham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Great Mongeham kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Great Mongeham. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Mongeham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Great Mongeham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Great Mongeham, such as Walmer Castle about 2 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hornbeam Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why deal with it now?
In Great Mongeham, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A fault that closes a site in a village like Great Mongeham affects everyone who depends on it.
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 there are no surprises.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Great Mongeham
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Great Mongeham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Related advice
Great Mongeham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Mongeham?
Yes, Great Mongeham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does the sea air around Great Mongeham make a difference to grease filter exchange?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Great Mongeham gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
