- A canopy that drips grease
How we handle grease filter exchange in Rodmersham
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease filters clogged with grease, across island canopies, mesh filters and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Rodmersham, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Rodmersham knowing what to expect.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
What affects the quote in Rodmersham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Why it’s worth doing now in Rodmersham
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Photo reports with every job
- Trading since 2009

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Grease, kitchens and Rodmersham
At about 3 miles from the coast, Rodmersham is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs, bars and clubs in Rodmersham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Rodmersham is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Rodmersham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions from Rodmersham
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Rodmersham?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Rodmersham gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rodmersham?
That’s Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rodmersham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange does not take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Rodmersham
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rodmersham School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
