Leave it or put it right?
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease filter exchange in Brooks Green
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We are often asked to deal with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and weak extraction at the canopy, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Brooks Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Brooks Green questions
Who inspects food businesses in Brooks Green?
Kitchens in Brooks Green are inspected by Horsham 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.
Is Brooks Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brooks Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brooks Green
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brooks Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Grease filter exchange in Brooks Green: the local picture
Brooks Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Brooks Green, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 4.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Barns Green Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
