Grease filter exchange in Lynsore Bottom, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. 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. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Work in a small place like Lynsore Bottom 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Lynsore Bottom: your questions answered
Is Lynsore Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lynsore Bottom is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Lynsore Bottom?
In Lynsore Bottom, it’s Canterbury City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like Lynsore Bottom are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lynsore Bottom
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Lynsore Bottom, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. If the system at a site near Lynsore Bottom fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Common problems we fix in Lynsore Bottom
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Lynsore Bottom, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
