We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Bartley
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Bartley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Questions from Bartley
Can you work in Bartley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bartley needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Bartley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bartley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Bartley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Bartley, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Bartley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Bartley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Bartley Church of England Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
