FAQs for Temple Valley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Temple Valley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Temple Valley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Temple Valley?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Temple Valley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
About our grease filter exchange in Temple Valley
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Temple Valley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Temple Valley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple Valley
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common problems we fix in Temple Valley
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
