When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hammill Park
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and people most often call us about smoke and heat lingering under the hood and staff short of time to wash filters.
In a small place like Hammill Park, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hammill Park
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Hammill Park
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
School kitchens, at schools like Eastry Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Hammill Park questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hammill Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Hammill Park is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Hammill Park after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
How the visit works
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. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hammill Park, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Hammill Park kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hammill Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hammill Park 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. Kitchens in Hammill Park get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hammill Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.6 miles west), access may need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hammill Park
For any kitchen in Hammill Park, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
