Grease filter exchange in Marsh Green
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. If you’re dealing with a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
In a small place like Marsh Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
In Marsh Green, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Planning a trip to Marsh Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Marsh Green
Kitchen extracts in Marsh Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marsh Green. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Marsh Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Marsh Green are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Marsh Green is Queen Victoria Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hever Castle is about 2.6 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Marsh Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Common problems we fix in Marsh Green
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Marsh Green Mission Church or elsewhere in Marsh Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Marsh Green questions
Which fire authority looks after Marsh Green?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will you come out to Marsh Green?
Yes, Marsh Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Marsh Green.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
