Grease Filter Exchange in Lullington
Grease filter exchange across Lullington and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, and that’s where we come in.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Lullington
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and damaged filters letting grease past.
For a kitchen in or near Lullington, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Lullington
Kitchens in Lullington, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lullington is Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 4.3 miles west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. If the system at a site near Lullington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lullington
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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 to a regular schedule.
How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lullington.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Lullington
Do you work at weekends in Lullington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lullington keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Lullington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lullington is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Grease filter exchange around Lullington
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lullington. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lullington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Lullington. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Andrew or elsewhere in Lullington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Alfriston School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
