The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Pearson's Green
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Pearson's Green, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for filter washing that keeps being missed and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Pearson's 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, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Pearson's Green
Do you work in villages like Pearson's Green?
Yes. Pearson's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Pearson's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Pearson's Green are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Pearson's Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Pearson's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Kitchens in Pearson's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Pearson's Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Mascalls School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What we’re called out for in Pearson's Green
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Scotney Castle is about 5 miles south), access may need planning.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Pearson's Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Advice
What staff can safely do
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. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
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
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
