- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
How we handle grease filter exchange in Binley
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Common call-outs are for filter washing that keeps being missed and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Binley, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What else we do in Binley
Common problems we fix in Binley
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Blocked baffle filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 5.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Why it’s worth doing now in Binley
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. In a place like Binley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Binley
Can the work in Binley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Binley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Binley?
Fire safety enforcement in Binley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Binley knowing what to expect.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
