Grease filter exchange in Mimbridge, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Mimbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Mimbridge: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Mimbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mimbridge included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Mimbridge?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mimbridge. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Mimbridge and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Kitchen extracts in Mimbridge
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Mimbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Mimbridge is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Woking council inspect food businesses in Mimbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Mimbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mimbridge.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
When to call us in Mimbridge
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Poor airflow through the filters
Historic houses near Mimbridge, such as Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
