Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hungerford
An exchange visit in Hungerford doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy that drips grease, across baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Hungerford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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, 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 are fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

When to call us in Hungerford
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hungerford (Breamore House is about 4.3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Questions from Hungerford
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hungerford?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hungerford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Hungerford after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hungerford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Is Hungerford in your area?
Yes. We work in Hungerford and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hungerford before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Hungerford
What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Hungerford, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Planning a trip to Hungerford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hungerford
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease filter exchange around Hungerford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hungerford. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hungerford. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hungerford. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Ascension or elsewhere in Hungerford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
