Grease filter exchange in Deane, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you’re dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help.
Work in a small place like Deane starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why act early in Deane
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A planned visit to Deane is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Grease filter exchange around Deane
We cover Deane, about 51 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Deane, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 4.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Common questions in Deane
Do you work in villages like Deane?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Deane is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Deane?
Food hygiene inspections in Deane are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs

- Baffle filters
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
When to call us in Deane
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Blocked baffle filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Deane, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a village or hamlet like Deane, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
