How we handle grease filter exchange in Well Hill
Across Well Hill, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. We are often asked to deal with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and blocked baffle filters, on mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Well Hill, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease filter exchange in Well Hill: the local picture
Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Well Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Chelsfield Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Mission Chapel or elsewhere in Well Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- 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.

- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
What we are called out for in Well Hill
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Well Hill questions
Which environmental health team covers Well Hill?
That’s Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Well Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Well Hill?
Well Hill is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or pictures and we’ll quote quickly.
What happens if it’s left?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. A booked night’s work in Well Hill costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
