Grease filter exchange in Peene, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Peene on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have filters so greasy the air can barely pass and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Peene, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Peene is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Peene questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Peene during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Peene, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Peene?
It can. Salt air reaches Peene, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you work in Peene?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Peene.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What we’re called out for in Peene
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cheriton Primary School or anywhere near Peene, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Kitchen extracts in Peene
Peene is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Peene on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Peene. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. The fire and rescue service for Peene is 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.
A hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital, about 2.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Peene, such as Acrise Place about 2.7 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, next to our reports.
