Grease filter exchange in Teynham, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Teynham 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 restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy that drips grease.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Teynham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What we’re called out for in Teynham
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease left in baffles after washing
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Teynham (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Teynham at a time that suits you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure no filter is left out
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
Grease filter exchange in Teynham: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Teynham is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Teynham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Teynham get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Teynham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. School kitchens, at schools like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Teynham.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Teynham questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Teynham?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Teynham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How long will you be on site?
On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
