Grease filter exchange in Stelling Minnis
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. We are often asked to deal with grease left in baffles after washing and staff short of time to wash filters, on restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Stelling Minnis starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Stelling Minnis
Which fire service covers Stelling Minnis?
Fire safety enforcement in Stelling Minnis is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Stelling Minnis?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will explain the options when we quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What affects the quote in Stelling Minnis
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Stelling Minnis
Stelling Minnis is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

A hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 5.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When to call us in Stelling Minnis
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stelling Minnis, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Stelling Minnis can be planned properly.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
