Kent · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in The Moor, Kent
Grease filter exchange in The Moor from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Grease filter exchange in The Moor, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you have a canopy running with filters missing and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as The Moor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

What we’re called out for in The Moor
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Blocked baffle filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to The Moor is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.6 miles west.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Moor
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in The Moor
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.

The Moor questions
Will you come out to The Moor?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, The Moor included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers The Moor?
The local authority for The Moor is Tunbridge Wells council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send photos, we can arrive in The Moor knowing what to expect.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
In The Moor, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A planned visit to The Moor is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
