Grease filter exchange in Westmarsh
An exchange visit in Westmarsh doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include smoke and heat lingering under the hood and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Westmarsh, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Westmarsh, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Westmarsh
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. It’s simpler to plan the work at Westmarsh now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Westmarsh
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:

Westmarsh kitchens: local notes
Westmarsh, about 60 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Fire safety in Westmarsh falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A TR19® clean in Westmarsh does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too. Historic houses near Westmarsh, such as Goodnestone Park about 4.6 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

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.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Westmarsh: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Westmarsh?
The local authority for Westmarsh is Dover council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Westmarsh after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
