Ellisfield kitchens: local notes
Ellisfield is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ellisfield. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ellisfield, about 5.1 miles north. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Martin or elsewhere in Ellisfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Ellisfield is about 4 miles south of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We provide grease filter exchange for commercial premises of every kind in Ellisfield and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Ellisfield among them. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 17 miles from Ellisfield.

About our grease filter exchange in Ellisfield
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Ellisfield on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help.
Work in a small place like Ellisfield 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we’re called out for in Ellisfield
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hall Place is about 3.9 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Ellisfield
Will you come out to Ellisfield?
Yes, Ellisfield is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ellisfield?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ellisfield. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ellisfield knowing what to expect.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
