Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in East Stratton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in East Stratton on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease left in baffles after washing and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
For a kitchen in or near East Stratton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in East Stratton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
FAQs for East Stratton
Do you work at weekends in East Stratton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in East Stratton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in East Stratton?
Yes. East Stratton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
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.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Stratton.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A planned visit to East Stratton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 will go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
