Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease filter exchange in Jarvis Brook, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Jarvis Brook on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and damaged filters letting grease past.
In a small place like Jarvis Brook, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why act early in Jarvis Brook
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. It’s simpler to plan the work at Jarvis Brook now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009

Jarvis Brook questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Jarvis Brook?
Jarvis Brook is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Jarvis Brook?
In Jarvis Brook, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a village like Jarvis Brook are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
We do not 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, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
