How we handle grease filter exchange in Kit's Coty
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Kit's Coty, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kit's Coty kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Kit's Coty. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Kit's Coty, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kit's Coty sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 3.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tunbury Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Alban's Church or elsewhere in Kit's Coty, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Kit's Coty is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. Sites in Kit's Coty get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

Questions from Kit's Coty
Will you come out to Kit's Coty?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kit's Coty is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Kit's Coty during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Kit's Coty. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A change takes less than an hour in most kitchens, so disruption is small. We will fit it around your service wherever possible.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Kit's Coty.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
