About our grease filter exchange in Holt Pound
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. Common call-outs are for damaged filters letting grease past and gaps where filters have been removed, across mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Holt Pound 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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 your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Holt Pound?
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why act early in Holt Pound
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Holt Pound kitchens: local notes
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Holt Pound, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Holt Pound. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holt Pound. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holt Pound (Farnham Castle is about 2.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holt Pound is Chase Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south.

Holt Pound questions
Can you work in Holt Pound outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Holt Pound can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Holt Pound?
Kitchens in Holt Pound are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do you cover Holt Pound?
Yes. Our technicians work in Holt Pound, within the South East and London area we cover.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a small place like Holt Pound, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
