Grease filter exchange in Broomhall
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. We’re often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and damaged filters letting grease past, across restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
For a smaller kitchen near Broomhall, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. We plan the journey to Broomhall and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in Broomhall
Wherever you are, Broomhall included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broomhall, about 2.7 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they recommend a next date

Grease filter exchange around Broomhall
There are about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Broomhall, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Broomhall. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Broomhall. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Sunningdale School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Broomhall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why act early in Broomhall
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. When a site near Broomhall shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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 give you a fixed quote.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Broomhall
Which council inspects kitchens in Broomhall?
Kitchens in Broomhall are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broomhall?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broomhall. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is Broomhall in your area?
Yes. We cover Broomhall and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
