How we handle grease filter exchange in Moor Street
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
Somewhere as small as Moor Street, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Moor Street?
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Poor airflow through the filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Moor Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- A canopy that needs a proper clean

Grease filter exchange in Moor Street: the local picture
Moor Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Moor Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moor Street. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Leigh Academy Rainham, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Medway Maritime Hospital (about 4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. The timing of a visit to Moor Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Questions from Moor Street
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Moor Street?
It can. Moor Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Moor Street?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you cover Moor Street?
Yes. Moor Street is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
