Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a small place like Crockerhill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Grease filter exchange in Crockerhill
In Crockerhill, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you’re dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help, from baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Crockerhill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Crockerhill can be planned properly.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common problems we fix in Crockerhill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Crockerhill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extracts in Crockerhill
Crockerhill is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crockerhill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Crockerhill. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like The Henry Cort Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 1 mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from Crockerhill
Do you work in villages like Crockerhill?
Yes, Crockerhill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Crockerhill?
Food hygiene inspections in Crockerhill are carried out by Fareham council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
