Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Marley
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and poor airflow through the filters, we can help.
Work in a small place like Marley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Marley run smoothly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Marley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Common questions in Marley
Does the sea air around Marley make a difference to grease filter exchange?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Marley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you get to a site in Marley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Marley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

What else we do in Marley
Marley kitchens: local notes
Marley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Marley 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. Food hygiene inspections in Marley are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of St Augustine, or anywhere in Marley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Marley
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Walmer Castle is about 3.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
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. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease deep in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
