Grease filter exchange in Murston
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Murston are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Grease, kitchens and Murston
The coast is only about 2 miles from Murston. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 69 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 36 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Murston, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Food hygiene inspections in Murston are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Sunny Bank Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A kitchen near Sittingbourne station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Murston?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Blocked baffle filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Murston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first
Why act early in Murston
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Even a site near Murston that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We’re fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What affects the quote in Murston
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For grease filter exchange in Murston, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. 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. Your opening hours decide when we come to Murston, not ours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
