How we handle grease filter exchange in Slutshole
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Slutshole, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy running with filters missing and grease filters clogged with grease, on baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Slutshole starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Slutshole.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Slutshole: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Slutshole?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Slutshole. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Slutshole?
Yes. Slutshole is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A change takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, so disruption is small. We will fit it around your service wherever we can.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Slutshole, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. With notice, the visit to Slutshole can be fitted around your bookings and events.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Slutshole
The coast is only about 3 miles from Slutshole. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Slutshole. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Slutshole. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Slutshole, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Slutshole is Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, about 5.5 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
