Grease filter exchange in Bowsey Hill, done properly
An exchange visit in Bowsey Hill doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We’re often asked to deal with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters.
Work in a small place like Bowsey Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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, as 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
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Why it’s worth doing now in Bowsey Hill
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What else we do in Bowsey Hill
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure no filter is left out
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Bowsey Hill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bowsey Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Bowsey Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Bowsey Hill is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Mission Church, or anywhere in Bowsey Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 4.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 3.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
