How we handle grease filter exchange in Sharnal Street
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Sharnal Street on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Sharnal Street, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. 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.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Sharnal Street?
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
For schools such as High Halstow Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs

Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Sharnal Street, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sharnal Street affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, 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.

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, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sharnal Street before we set off.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

FAQs for Sharnal Street
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Sharnal Street?
It can. Salt air reaches Sharnal Street, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Do you work at weekends in Sharnal Street?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Sharnal Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Sharnal Street kitchens: local notes
Sharnal Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Sharnal Street, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in Sharnal Street are the job of Medway council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Restoration House is about 4.9 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
