Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Spanish Green
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and blocked baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
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 plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why act early in Spanish Green
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. In a small place like Spanish Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Spanish Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Spanish Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Spanish Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Spanish Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin or elsewhere in Spanish Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Daneshill School or anywhere near Spanish Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Spanish Green is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Spanish Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Spanish Green
Can you work in Spanish Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Spanish Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Spanish Green?
Yes. Spanish Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
