Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in New Romney
An exchange visit in New Romney does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are filters so greasy the air can barely pass and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Around a smaller place like New Romney, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in New Romney
New Romney is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs across New Romney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. New Romney sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a smaller place like New Romney, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Make sure no filter is left out
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Because the survey comes first, a visit to New Romney can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in New Romney?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Poor airflow through the filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in New Romney, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in New Romney
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for New Romney?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for New Romney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does the sea air around New Romney make a difference to grease filter exchange?
It can. Salt air reaches New Romney, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
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’ll fit it around your service wherever we can.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we’ll adjust it.
