Ewshot kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Ewshot. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Fire safety in Ewshot falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Ewshot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ewshot (Farnham Castle is about 1.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Ewshot is about 2 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Ewshot, grease filter exchange is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Ewshot
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right, from baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Ewshot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Ewshot questions
Can school kitchens in Ewshot be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Ewshot, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ewshot?
Food hygiene inspections in Ewshot are carried out by Hart council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We’ll give you a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a small place like Ewshot, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Leave it or put it right?
In Ewshot, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Ewshot is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
