About our grease filter exchange in Nash Street
Across Nash Street, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Nash Street
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run a café or takeaway near Meopham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. If the system at a site near Nash Street fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts

What affects the quote in Nash Street
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Common questions in Nash Street
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nash Street?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nash Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Nash Street during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nash Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Most changes take anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Is Nash Street in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Nash Street, within the South East and London area we cover.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nash Street run smoothly.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
