Grease filter exchange in Petersfield
An exchange visit in Petersfield doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
Kitchens in towns like Petersfield are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Petersfield
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Before the visit, a few pictures of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Petersfield.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What else we do in Petersfield
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
FAQs for Petersfield
Which environmental health team covers Petersfield?
In Petersfield, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Petersfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Petersfield keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will show you which ones on the visit.
Is Petersfield in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Petersfield.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Common problems we fix in Petersfield
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Gaps where filters have been removed
A kitchen near Petersfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Kitchen extracts in Petersfield
The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Petersfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Petersfield sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Petersfield get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Petersfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about less than half a mile west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
