Grease Filter Exchange in Stone Street
Grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stone Street. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Stone Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How we handle grease filter exchange in Stone Street
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Stone Street on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Stone Street, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Stone Street wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What we are called out for in Stone Street
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
For schools such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Stone Street: your questions answered
Can the work in Stone Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Stone Street can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Stone Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone Street is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
