Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Grease filter exchange in Broad Street, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We’re often asked to deal with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and gaps where filters have been removed, across island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Broad Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Broad Street
At about 3 miles from the coast, Broad Street is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Fire safety in Broad Street falls to East Sussex 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. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broad Street. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Lamb House, about 4.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Broad Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Broad Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Broad Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Broad Street: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broad Street?
Kitchens in Broad Street are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street?
Yes, Broad Street is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though normally at a gentler pace.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a village or hamlet like Broad Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
