Kitchen extracts in Bailey Green
Bailey Green is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Bailey Green is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Bailey Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Bailey Green is about 5 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. For grease filter exchange in and around Bailey Green, please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange in Bailey Green, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
For a kitchen in or near Bailey Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bailey Green.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies

How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 will price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Bailey Green?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bailey Green is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 5.2 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Somewhere as small as Bailey Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Bailey Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Bailey Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bailey Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bailey Green?
In Bailey Green, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
