About our grease filter exchange in Hollybushes
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy running with filters missing and grease filters clogged with grease, on wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
In a village or hamlet like Hollybushes, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Hollybushes: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hollybushes?
In Hollybushes, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Hollybushes after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hollybushes doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is Hollybushes in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Hollybushes.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Hollybushes kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Hollybushes. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hollybushes is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Hollybushes, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Hollybushes; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hollybushes run smoothly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Always run the extract while cooking
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Hollybushes?
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
