Grease filter exchange in Enborne, done properly
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help.
In a small place like Enborne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Enborne can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Managing agents and facilities teams in Enborne
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Enborne
At about 56 miles from central London, Enborne sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Enborne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Enborne C.E. Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Benham Park is about 1.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Enborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
Common questions in Enborne
Do you work at weekends in Enborne?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Enborne does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Enborne?
Yes. Enborne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff do not have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
