Liverton Street grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for commercial sites in Liverton Street and across Kent. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Liverton Street
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. Common call-outs are for a canopy that drips grease and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on mesh filters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Liverton Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Liverton Street
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Liverton Street before we set off.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Liverton Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Liverton Street. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Liverton Street. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Liverton Street 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.
Leeds Castle, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Liverton Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Liverton Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Platts Heath Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Liverton Street questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Liverton Street?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Liverton Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Liverton Street can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We’ll give you a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Why act early in Liverton Street
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What affects the quote in Liverton Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
