Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in North Hyde
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. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Typical jobs include a canopy running with filters missing and poor airflow through the filters, on wall canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in North Hyde is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for North Hyde
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in North Hyde?
Fire safety enforcement in North Hyde is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does London parking affect a job in North Hyde?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We give you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What grease filter exchange looks like in North Hyde
Look up North Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 228 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 91 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of North Hyde. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Kitchens in North Hyde get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Historic houses near North Hyde, such as Osterley House about 1.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Leonard's Church or anywhere around North Hyde, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in North Hyde.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Signs you need grease filter exchange in North Hyde
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Bernard's Hospital about 1.6 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies

How we price grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
