Why act early in Alverstone
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. If the system at a site near Alverstone fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

TR19 inspection in Alverstone, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Alverstone and the rest of the Isle of Wight. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Alverstone starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Alverstone
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Grease, kitchens and Alverstone
The coast is only about 2 miles from Alverstone. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 17 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Alverstone. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Alverstone. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Alverstone, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When to call us in Alverstone
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Alverstone shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Haseley Manor is about 1.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
