Grease Filter Exchange in Damerham
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Damerham, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Damerham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Damerham
In Damerham, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. We’re often asked to deal with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
In a village or hamlet like Damerham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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 carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we’re called out for in Damerham
Kitchens in Damerham, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Blocked baffle filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Breamore House, about 3.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Damerham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.

Advice
Damerham kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Damerham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Damerham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Damerham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
