Stalisfield Green: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stalisfield Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Stalisfield Green are carried out by Swale council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Stalisfield Green?
Yes. Stalisfield Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Grease filter exchange in Stalisfield Green, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. Typical jobs include filters so greasy the air can barely pass and a canopy that drips grease, across wall canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Stalisfield Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.

What affects the quote in Stalisfield Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For grease filter exchange in Stalisfield Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Honest limits
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Stalisfield Green
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 2.7 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Stalisfield Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
