Why it’s worth doing now in Middle Park
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. A booked night’s work in Middle Park costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Middle Park
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and staff short of time to wash filters, across wall canopies, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Middle Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Kitchen extracts in Middle Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 125 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 takeaways across Middle Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Middle Park sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Middle Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eltham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Middle Park, about 0.7 miles north-east. A kitchen near Mottingham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Middle Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Middle Park
Can parking be tricky for a job in Middle Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can you come to Middle Park after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Middle Park in your area?
Yes. We work in Middle Park and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Before any visit in Middle Park, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
