Grease filter exchange in Bradley, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Bradley on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. We are often asked to deal with grease building up behind the canopy filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, on mesh filters, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Bradley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Common questions in Bradley
Do you work at weekends in Bradley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Bradley needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bradley?
Fire safety enforcement in Bradley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease, kitchens and Bradley
About 49 miles out from central London, Bradley is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bradley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 1.9 miles south-east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Bradley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bradley, about 4.8 miles south-east.
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. We carry out grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bradley and the rest of Hampshire. Bradley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for grease filter exchange. Our Reading page covers sites nearby, about 20 miles away.

Around Bradley
A little further out are Barton Castle (2.3 miles south-west) and Alton Community Hospital (4.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include King's Hill.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself 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 Bradley knowing what to expect.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Bradley
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Why act early in Bradley
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. 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.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Bradley
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
