Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Bramdean grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Bramdean from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Blocked baffle filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
What we are called out for in Bramdean
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St Simon and St Jude, or anywhere in Bramdean, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

About our grease filter exchange in Bramdean
In Bramdean, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease collecting in the filter channels and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
Work in a small place like Bramdean starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bramdean
Do you work in villages like Bramdean?
Yes. Bramdean is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bramdean during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bramdean, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We will confirm it with the quote.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bramdean
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What else we do in Bramdean
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a village or hamlet like Bramdean, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
