Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Frimley Green
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. We are often asked to deal with blocked baffle filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies.
Kitchens around a place like Frimley Green are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Frimley Green
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
For schools such as Cross Farm Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to Frimley Green, not ours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Grease, kitchens and Frimley Green
Look up Frimley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 51 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frimley Green. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Frimley Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Frimley Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 1.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Farnborough North station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
