Grease filter exchange in Round Street, done properly
Across Round Street, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and weak extraction at the canopy.
Work in a small place like Round Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Round Street
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Round Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Questions from Round Street
Will you come out to Round Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Round Street is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Round Street?
Kitchens in Round Street are inspected by Gravesham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
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.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.

Other services in Round Street
Round Street kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Round Street. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Round Street are the job of Gravesham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Round Street is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cobham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Room or elsewhere in Round Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Round Street is Gravesham Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles north.
Round Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Round Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
