Managing agents and facilities teams in Sissinghurst
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
About our grease filter exchange in Sissinghurst
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right, from baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Sissinghurst starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Sissinghurst
Is Sissinghurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sissinghurst is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sissinghurst?
The local authority for Sissinghurst is Tunbridge Wells council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sissinghurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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 we start, so there are no surprises.

What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Sissinghurst
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
Do you need grease filter exchange in Sissinghurst?
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 3.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

What else we do in Sissinghurst
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Sissinghurst knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
