Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Studdal
In Studdal, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
In a small place like Studdal, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 we’re called out for in Studdal
Wherever you are, Studdal included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near East Studdal Church Hall or anywhere around Studdal, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone

- Whether a survey comes first

Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A planned visit to Studdal is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Studdal knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive

Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Studdal. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Studdal. 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.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Walmer Castle is about 4 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
