How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
About our grease filter exchange in Brompton
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Typical jobs include damaged filters letting grease past and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
Around a smaller place like Brompton, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Around Brompton, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Brompton: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Brompton?
It can, as Brompton is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Is Brompton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brompton included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
Grease filter exchange around Brompton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Brompton. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 43 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and guest houses in and around Brompton, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Brompton get their food hygiene inspections from Medway council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Chatham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brompton-Westbrook Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why act early in Brompton

When to call us in Brompton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Medway Maritime Hospital (about 0.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
