Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Grease filter exchange in Stocks Green
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Common call-outs are for poor airflow through the filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across restaurants and pubs, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a small place like Stocks Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Stocks Green kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Stocks Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Stocks Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Stocks Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hildenborough Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Stocks Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stocks Green?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Stocks Green during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stocks Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.

Advice
Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stocks Green
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Full insurance on every job

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Stocks Green
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Poor airflow through the filters
If you run a café or takeaway near Hildenborough station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
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.
