About our grease filter exchange in Silver Street
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with a canopy that drips grease and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Silver Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Silver Street
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Silver Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start

Silver Street questions
Can the work in Silver Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Silver Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Silver Street is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Grease filter exchange in Silver Street: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Silver Street. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Silver Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Silver Street falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Silver Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

A little further out are Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.9 miles north-east) and Bayford Court (3.1 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Detling Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
