How we handle grease filter exchange in Newland Green
Across Newland Green, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and people most often call us about damaged filters letting grease past and poor airflow through the filters.
Somewhere as small as Newland Green, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Newland Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Newland Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newland Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Newland Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Newland Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We will confirm it with the quote.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That is how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Newland Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
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.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
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.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newland Green
Some kitchens in Newland Green wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newland Green affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- An extract that was undersized from the start
