Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Mislingford
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
In a village or hamlet like Mislingford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens in Mislingford wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. In a small place like Mislingford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease filter exchange around Mislingford
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mislingford. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. In Mislingford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Mislingford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.

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. From there, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mislingford run smoothly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
Questions from Mislingford
Can you work in Mislingford outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Mislingford?
Fire safety enforcement in Mislingford is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Common problems we fix in Mislingford
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Swanmore College of Technology, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
