Grease filter exchange in Wittersham
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have 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 your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. The timing of a visit to Wittersham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What we are called out for in Wittersham
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Wittersham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Questions from Wittersham
Can you get to a site in Wittersham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wittersham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wittersham?
Wittersham is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will confirm it on site.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens in Wittersham wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. If the system at a site near Wittersham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
