Grease filter exchange in Marshborough
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, on school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Marshborough, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Marshborough
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Marshborough, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Marshborough and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Marshborough
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Marshborough during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Marshborough, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Marshborough?
Yes, Marshborough is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Marshborough.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Marshborough?
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Marshborough, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange in Marshborough: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars in and around Marshborough, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Marshborough, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Marshborough is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Marshborough (Goodnestone Park is about 3.7 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Sandwich Technology School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Other landmarks nearby include White Mill (1.3 miles north-east) and Sandown Castle (4.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Marshborough includes Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and 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.
