About our grease filter exchange in Crockham Hill
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Work in a small place like Crockham Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Crockham Hill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Crockham Hill, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Crockham Hill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. The timing of a visit to Crockham Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Common questions in Crockham Hill
Do you work at weekends in Crockham Hill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Crockham Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Crockham Hill?
Kitchens in Crockham Hill are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or photos and we will quote, usually within one working day.
Do you cover Crockham Hill?
Yes. Crockham Hill is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 2 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
