Grease filter exchange in Inhurst, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Inhurst.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Questions from Inhurst
Is Inhurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Inhurst included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Inhurst during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Inhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Inhurst
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Inhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
