Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep every filter in place during service
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Burnham
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. If you have a canopy running with filters missing and grease left in baffles after washing, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Burnham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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’re fully insured.

What else we do in Burnham
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
