Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hearnden Green
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 have a canopy running with filters missing and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Hearnden Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Hearnden Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars in and around Hearnden Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Hearnden Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Hearnden Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hearnden Green (Leeds Castle is about 4.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hearnden Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Part by part
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.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Hearnden Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Hearnden Green
Can you come to Hearnden Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hearnden Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Hearnden Green?
Yes. Hearnden Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
