How we handle grease filter exchange in Sevington
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you are dealing with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Sevington, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sevington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Questions from Sevington
Do you work at weekends in Sevington?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Sevington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Sevington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sevington is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How long will you be on site?
On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
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 if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Sevington
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Sevington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Sevington. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Sevington are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Willesborough Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Sevington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like William Harvey Hospital, about 0.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
Why act early in Sevington
