What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Bursledon.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How we handle grease filter exchange in Bursledon
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have hand-washed filters that still look greasy and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Bursledon, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
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 are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Bursledon
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bursledon
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 can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Kitchen extracts in Bursledon
Bursledon lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Bursledon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 26 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways in and around Bursledon, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Kitchens in Bursledon get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 1.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul’s Church or elsewhere in Bursledon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bursledon
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bursledon in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bursledon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Bursledon?
Fire safety enforcement in Bursledon is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
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.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A change takes well under an hour for most canopies, so disruption is small. We’ll fit it around your service wherever we can.
Do you cover Bursledon?
Yes. We work in Bursledon and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
