FAQs for Wingham Green
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wingham Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wingham Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you work in Wingham Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you cover Wingham Green?
Yes. We cover Wingham Green and across Kent, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We will confirm it with the quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Wingham Green
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have blocked baffle filters and poor airflow through the filters, we can help, from wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Wingham Green, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. In a small place like Wingham Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Wingham Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Wingham Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. In Wingham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Wingham Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wingham Green (Goodnestone Park is about 2.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wingham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Wingham Green is about 5 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Sites in Wingham Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Wingham Green is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Maidstone, about 29 miles away.

We also work in nearby towns such as Canterbury (5 miles west), Margate (11 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south-east), Folkestone (13 miles south), Ramsgate (10 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (12 miles north-east).
What’s near Wingham Green

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
When to call us in Wingham Green
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Wingham Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a village like Wingham Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
