How we handle grease filter exchange in Fullerton
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
Work in a small place like Fullerton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Fullerton
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Fullerton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fullerton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fullerton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Fullerton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Fullerton can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long does grease filter exchange 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.
Why act early in Fullerton
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Planning a trip to Fullerton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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.

The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Fullerton
Look up Fullerton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Fullerton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Fullerton. 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. The fire and rescue service for Fullerton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
