About our grease filter exchange in Monkey Street
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Monkey Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Monkey Street

- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Managing agents and facilities teams in Monkey Street

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

Common questions in Monkey Street
Do you cover smaller places like Monkey Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Monkey Street included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Monkey Street?
Monkey Street is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
