How we handle grease filter exchange in Marden Beech
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help, from mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Marden Beech, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Somewhere as small as Marden Beech, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Marden Beech
Who inspects food businesses in Marden Beech?
Kitchens in Marden Beech are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Marden Beech?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Marden Beech. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
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 arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
