About our grease filter exchange in Hyde
In Hyde, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and grease dripping from the canopy, on mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hyde gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Leave it or put it right?
In Hyde, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Hyde fits your hours; an emergency does not.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Hyde
Look up Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 120 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Hyde, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hyde. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hyde. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Bede Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Bartholomew's Church or elsewhere in Hyde, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 0.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Hyde is about 1 mile north of Winchester, in Hampshire.

FAQs for Hyde
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hyde in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hyde. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hyde is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange does not take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hyde can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, 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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Hyde
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
