Grease filter exchange in Staplestreet, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you have smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Staplestreet, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Staplestreet, 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. A planned visit to Staplestreet is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease deep in the extract system

Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Staplestreet
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and 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 can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.

Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Kitchen extracts in Staplestreet
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Staplestreet. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Staplestreet. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Staplestreet get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (about 5.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Staplestreet, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staplestreet questions
Do you work overnight in Staplestreet?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Staplestreet keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Staplestreet?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Staplestreet is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
