About our grease filter exchange in Milebush
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, across island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Milebush, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Why it’s worth doing now in Milebush
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Milebush
Do you work overnight in Milebush?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Milebush can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Milebush?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Milebush. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that is an option. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Milebush
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease filter exchange in Milebush: the local picture
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways across Milebush and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Milebush is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Milebush, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Milebush is Oakwood Hospital, about 5.7 miles north. Where a hall near St Michael and All Angels Church, or anywhere in Milebush, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Milebush is about 6 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Milebush.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
