Grease, kitchens and Netley Marsh
Netley Marsh is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Netley Marsh. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Netley Marsh is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Matthew, or anywhere in Netley Marsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Grease filter exchange in Netley Marsh
Across Netley Marsh, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for grease collecting in the filter channels and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across mesh filters, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

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.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Netley Marsh
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Netley Marsh
Do you cover smaller places like Netley Marsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Netley Marsh?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Netley Marsh. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a village or hamlet like Netley Marsh, 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.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we are called out for in Netley Marsh
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
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.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
