How we handle grease filter exchange in Nash
In Nash, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and poor airflow through the filters.
In a village or hamlet like Nash, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Nash
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Look out for any of the following:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Church and community hall kitchens, near Elmstone Church or anywhere around Nash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the price is fixed
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Grease filter exchange around Nash
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Nash 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. Fire safety in Nash falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Nash are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Nash, such as Goodnestone Park about 3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Martins Hospital about 6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
Common questions in Nash
Can school kitchens in Nash be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Nash. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Nash?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Nash doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Visits to a village like Nash are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Nash
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
