Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Eridge Green
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help, from island canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Watch for grease drips between visits
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What affects the quote in Eridge Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix

- A canopy that needs a proper clean

FAQs for Eridge Green
Do you work at weekends in Eridge Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Eridge Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Eridge Green?
Eridge Green is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Eridge Green.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and Eridge Green
In Eridge Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Eridge Green, about 31 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Eridge Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Groombridge Place is about 1.9 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Eridge Green is about 3 miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Eridge Green?
Wherever you are, Eridge Green included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
