Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Stone Corner
In Stone Corner, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease collecting in the filter channels.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Stone Corner kitchens: local notes
Stone Corner, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stone Corner. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Whether the kitchen is in Stone Corner itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Smallhythe Place is about 1.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Stone Corner is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We provide grease filter exchange for commercial premises of every kind in Stone Corner and the rest of Kent. We cover 922 places across Kent, from busy centres to quieter spots. Maidstone is in our area too, around 19 miles away.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stone Corner rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters

Stone Corner questions
Who inspects food businesses in Stone Corner?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stone Corner. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Corner?
Yes. Stone Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How it works
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 anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stone Corner and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the quote in Stone Corner
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
