About our grease filter exchange in Troy Town
Across Troy Town, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and poor airflow through the filters, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Troy Town, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Troy Town
Can you work in Troy Town outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Troy Town needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Troy Town?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in Troy Town?
Yes. Troy Town is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Troy Town run smoothly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need grease filter exchange in Troy Town, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Troy Town
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Troy Town
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Troy Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Troy Town falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Troy Town. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Edenbridge station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Historic houses near Troy Town, such as Chartwell about 2.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tandridge Priory about 2.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
