How we handle grease filter exchange in Pegwell
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can help.
Work in a small place like Pegwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Pegwell
The coast is only about 1 mile from Pegwell. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 41 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs across Pegwell and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Pegwell. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Chilton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pegwell (Quex Park is about 4.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital about 0.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pegwell, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

- An extract that was undersized from the start

Questions from Pegwell
Which fire authority looks after Pegwell?
Fire safety enforcement in Pegwell is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Pegwell?
Yes, Pegwell is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pegwell
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Pegwell
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
