Why it’s worth doing now in Longparish
Some kitchens in Longparish wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. A planned visit to Longparish is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange in Longparish
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Watch for grease drips between visits
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Grease, kitchens and Longparish
Longparish, about 59 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Longparish are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Longparish, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Longparish, about 5.1 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Longparish Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Longparish.

- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.

Longparish questions
Can you come to Longparish after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Longparish doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Longparish?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Longparish included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.

Other services in Longparish
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
