How we handle grease filter exchange in Monk's Hill
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Monk's Hill on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you are dealing with staff short of time to wash filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help.
In a small place like Monk's Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Monk's Hill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Monk's Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Monk's Hill. 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. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Monk's Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 4.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Monk's Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Monk's Hill, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Monk's Hill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When to call us in Monk's Hill
Wherever you are, Monk's Hill included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A canopy running with filters missing
School kitchens, at schools like Smarden Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Monk's Hill
Do you work overnight in Monk's Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Monk's Hill keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Monk's Hill?
Yes. Monk's Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
