Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Sheerness
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and a canopy that drips grease.
For a smaller kitchen near Sheerness, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Grease filter exchange around Sheerness
The coast is only about 1 mile from Sheerness. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 17 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sheerness. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Sheerness are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Sheerness-On-Sea station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Sheerness, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rose Street Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure no filter is left out
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.

What else we do in Sheerness
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Sheerness, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Sheerness
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Will you come out to Sheerness?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
