How we handle grease filter exchange in Wyck
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from mesh filters, island canopies and wall canopies onwards.
In a small place like Wyck, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
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 canopy surfaces wiped down
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Common questions in Wyck
Do you work overnight in Wyck?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Wyck can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wyck?
Food hygiene inspections in Wyck are carried out by East Hampshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Are you accredited?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We’ll give you a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease, kitchens and Wyck
Kitchens in Wyck get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire 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. Wyck sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Wyck, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wyck is Alton Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Binsted Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Wyck is about 3 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Wyck to the outskirts, grease filter exchange is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Wyck among them. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 16 miles from Wyck.
All of GU34 is within our area for grease filter exchange, from busy streets to back roads. Nearby, we also carry out grease filter exchange in East Worldham (1 mile south-west), Neatham (1 mile north-west), Holybourne (2 miles north-west), Upper Froyle (2 miles north) and Hartley Mauditt (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (11 miles north-west), Farnborough (12 miles north-east), Fleet (9 miles north), Aldershot (10 miles north-east), Alton (3 miles west) and Petersfield (10 miles south).
Near you in Wyck
Around Wyck, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Eggar's School. The closest station to Wyck is Alton station, roughly 2.2 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Alton Community Hospital (3.2 miles west) and Barley Pound (5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Wyck include Deadwater Valley and Holybourne Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease deep in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs

What else we do in Wyck
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wyck, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
