The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Beare Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Beare Green
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and checking the result of a recent clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Beare Green and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
TR19 inspection in Beare Green: the local picture
We cover Beare Green, about 24 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Beare Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Beare Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Holmwood station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Beare Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Beare Green?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
For schools such as The Weald CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Common questions in Beare Green
Which fire service covers Beare Green?
Beare Green is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Beare Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Beare Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in Beare Green?
Yes. Beare Green is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene 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 accreditations do you have?
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 price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Planning a trip to Beare Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
