About our grease filter exchange in Bromley Green
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Bromley Green: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bromley Green?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bromley Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Bromley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bromley Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Bromley Green in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bromley Green.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote, usually within one working day.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
What we’re called out for in Bromley Green
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
A hospital like William Harvey Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bromley Green.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Watch for grease drips between visits
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Bromley Green
At about 50 miles from central London, Bromley Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Bromley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bromley Green (Godinton House is about 4.5 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like John Wallis Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Bromley Green is about 3 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Sites in Bromley Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Bromley Green among them. We also work in Maidstone, about 18 miles from Bromley Green.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
