How we handle grease filter exchange in Drayton Beauchamp
An exchange visit in Drayton Beauchamp does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a canopy running with filters missing, on baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Drayton Beauchamp, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why act early in Drayton Beauchamp
In Drayton Beauchamp, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. If the system at a site near Drayton Beauchamp fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We’re fully insured
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- A fixed price before any work starts
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Drayton Beauchamp: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Drayton Beauchamp?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Drayton Beauchamp is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Drayton Beauchamp?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Drayton Beauchamp. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Drayton Beauchamp.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.

Before we arrive

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
When to call us in Drayton Beauchamp
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Damaged filters letting grease past
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Drayton Beauchamp, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
