Grease filter exchange in Mundy Bois
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Mundy Bois, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. We are often asked to deal with grease filters clogged with grease and grease dripping from the canopy, on school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Mundy Bois, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Mundy Bois
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mundy Bois?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mundy Bois. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mundy Bois?
The local authority for Mundy Bois is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Mundy Bois kitchens: local notes
Mundy Bois, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Mundy Bois is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Godinton House is about 5 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Mundy Bois, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Mundy Bois is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. If you need grease filter exchange in Mundy Bois, please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote. Our area covers London and the South East, Mundy Bois included. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Mundy Bois is one of them.

How the visit works
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 well under an hour for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Mundy Bois and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Mundy Bois wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mundy Bois now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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 staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
