- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Brondesbury Park
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We’re often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Brondesbury Park is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly

What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Brondesbury Park: your questions answered
Can the work in Brondesbury Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Brondesbury Park needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Brondesbury Park?
That is London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Where do the greasy filters go?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
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 much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
How we price grease filter exchange

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need grease filter exchange in Brondesbury Park, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
