About our grease filter exchange in Loyterton
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. 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 hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease dripping from the canopy, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
In a small place like Loyterton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Loyterton
Can you work in Loyterton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Loyterton can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Loyterton?
The local authority for Loyterton is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we’re called out for in Loyterton
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lynsted and Norton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What records you’ll receive afterwards

Loyterton, about 41 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Loyterton get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Loyterton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Loyterton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere as small as Loyterton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
