- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed

When to call us in Sandhurst Cross
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sandhurst Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
About our grease filter exchange in Sandhurst Cross
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in Sandhurst Cross
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sandhurst Cross?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Sandhurst Cross after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Sandhurst Cross doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. 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, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Grease, kitchens and Sandhurst Cross
Food hygiene inspections in Sandhurst Cross are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Sandhurst Cross 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 hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Sandhurst Cross, 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 Sandhurst Cross is Benenden Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
In Sandhurst Cross, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Somewhere as small as Sandhurst Cross, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Sandhurst Cross
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sandhurst Cross.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
