In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Brookhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Stadhampton Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Brookhampton
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and a canopy that drips grease.
Somewhere as small as Brookhampton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Brookhampton
Which fire authority looks after Brookhampton?
Brookhampton is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Brookhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll confirm it on site.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Why act early in Brookhampton
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Brookhampton
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Photo reports with every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.

When to call us in Brookhampton
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
A hospital like Littlemore Hospital, about 4.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
