Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Temple Hill
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Temple Hill on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. Typical jobs include a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, on mesh filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
For a smaller kitchen near Temple Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.

What else we do in Temple Hill
Why act early in Temple Hill
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. A site near Temple Hill that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple Hill
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Kitchen extracts in Temple Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 87 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 59 takeaways across Temple Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Food hygiene inspections in Temple Hill are the job of Dartford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Temple Hill falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Dartford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Hill Hospital about 0.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Temple Hill Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Temple Hill: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Temple Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Temple Hill is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Temple Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Temple Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
