Grease filter exchange around Stonestreet Green
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Stonestreet Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in Stonestreet Green get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Stonestreet Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Westenhanger Castle is about 3.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stonestreet Green is William Harvey Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Stonestreet Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Grease filter exchange in Stonestreet Green, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about a canopy that drips grease and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
In a small place like Stonestreet Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stonestreet Green is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Stonestreet Green
Which environmental health team covers Stonestreet Green?

Can you work in Stonestreet Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stonestreet Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is Stonestreet Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stonestreet Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Stonestreet Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Stonestreet Green
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
How we price grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
