About our TR19 inspection in Boughton Lees
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Boughton Lees can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Boughton Lees
Can you come to Boughton Lees after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Boughton Lees can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Boughton Lees?
Fire safety enforcement in Boughton Lees is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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 you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Is Boughton Lees in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Boughton Lees included.

What we are called out for in Boughton Lees
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Boughton Lees shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 3.4 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Boughton Lees a current picture. A fault that closes a site in a village like Boughton Lees affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Boughton Lees
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
