How we handle grease filter exchange in Sundridge
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and blocked baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Sundridge
Can you come to Sundridge after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Sundridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sundridge included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Sundridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Kitchen extracts in Sundridge
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Sundridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Sundridge are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Sundridge 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.
For schools such as Combe Bank School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Sundridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Quebec House is about 2.3 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sundridge
Some kitchens in Sundridge wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
