Grease, kitchens and Moorstock
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Moorstock, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Folkestone and Hythe council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moorstock. 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. Fire safety in Moorstock falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Moorstock, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Westenhanger Castle, about 1.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Moorstock; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Grease filter exchange in Moorstock
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and people most often call us about bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and missing filters in the filter bank.
Somewhere as small as Moorstock, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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’re fully insured.

How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Moorstock.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Moorstock: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Moorstock?
The local authority for Moorstock is Folkestone and Hythe council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Moorstock outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Moorstock doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Moorstock?
Wherever you are, Moorstock included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sellindge Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
