Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Peaslake
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. 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. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy that drips grease and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
Work in a small place like Peaslake starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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 are fully insured.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
The process
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. It takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Peaslake before we set off.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote

Grease filter exchange around Peaslake
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Peaslake. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Peaslake is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Peaslake, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 4.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. In a place like Peaslake, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Yes. Peaslake is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

What types of filter do you exchange?

What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
