Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Newnham
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow through the filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Somewhere as small as Newnham, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Newnham knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
FAQs for Newnham
Which environmental health team covers Newnham?
In Newnham, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Newnham within the area you cover?
Yes. Newnham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
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 need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Grease, kitchens and Newnham
Newnham is about 41 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Newnham are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Newnham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Eastling Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 2.2 miles south-east), access may need planning.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Newnham, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
