Grease filter exchange in Rotherfield Peppard, Oxfordshire
Our technicians work in Rotherfield Peppard on grease filter exchange. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Grease filter exchange in Rotherfield Peppard
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are damaged filters letting grease past and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
Work in a small place like Rotherfield Peppard 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, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. The timing of a visit to Rotherfield Peppard is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What we’re called out for in Rotherfield Peppard
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Rotherfield Peppard, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
