Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Radfield
An exchange visit in Radfield doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. Common call-outs are for grease filters clogged with grease and grease collecting in the filter channels, on mesh filters, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
For a kitchen in or near Radfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: 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.

Common questions in Radfield
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Radfield?
It can, as Radfield is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Radfield?
Radfield is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
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.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.

Grease filter exchange around Radfield
At about 3 miles from the coast, Radfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Radfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Radfield falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
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 4.9 miles south-east), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Radfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Radfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
What happens if it’s left?
For any kitchen in Radfield, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Radfield is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
