How we handle grease filter exchange in Wrecclesham
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, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and mesh filters onwards.
Around a smaller place like Wrecclesham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Wrecclesham
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A planned visit to Wrecclesham fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Visits to a place like Wrecclesham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wrecclesham
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
When to call us in Wrecclesham
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wrecclesham (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Wrecclesham?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Wrecclesham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Wrecclesham 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 Wrecclesham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Grease, kitchens and Wrecclesham
Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Wrecclesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Wrecclesham is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Wrecclesham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Peter's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Wrecclesham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
