- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease filter exchange in South Bersted
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters onwards.
In a smaller place like South Bersted, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.

Grease filter exchange in South Bersted: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, South Bersted is close enough for sea air to matter. 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 data counts about 93 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 41 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around South Bersted, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. In South Bersted, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in South Bersted, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as South Bersted CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in South Bersted and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Around South Bersted, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Questions from South Bersted
Which environmental health team covers South Bersted?
In South Bersted, it’s Arun council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is South Bersted within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Bersted included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A change takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, so disruption is small. We’ll fit it around your service wherever we can.
