How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Dagenham Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Dagenham Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Dagenham Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 57 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 53 takeaways and sandwich shops in Dagenham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. In Dagenham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barking and Dagenham 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. Dagenham Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Barking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dagenham Green, about 2.3 miles west.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If your building in Dagenham Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Dagenham Green questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dagenham Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Dagenham Green are carried out by Barking and Dagenham council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Dagenham Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
