How we handle grease filter exchange in Edmonton
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. 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. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are staff short of time to wash filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Edmonton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We have 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
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, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Edmonton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Edmonton is normally out of hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. It’s better booked as a planned job in Edmonton than handled as an emergency.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We diagnose before we treat
Edmonton questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Edmonton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Edmonton, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you work in Edmonton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Kitchen extracts in Edmonton
Look up Edmonton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 186 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 111 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Edmonton. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. London Fire Brigade covers Edmonton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you cook for passing trade around Edmonton Green station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. For schools such as Brettenham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When to call us in Edmonton
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Edmonton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What a clean will not put right
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
