Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Hound Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Hound Green
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. 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 grease filters clogged with grease and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.
Work in a small place like Hound Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist 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.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hound Green before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
FAQs for Hound Green
Is Hound Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hound Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Hound Green?
Kitchens in Hound Green are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long will you be on site?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
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 does not spread.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Hound Green
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Mattingley Church or anywhere around Hound Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
