Braishfield TR19 inspection
Looking for TR19 inspection in Braishfield? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Braishfield
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
For a kitchen in or near Braishfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Braishfield questions
Do you work at weekends in Braishfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Braishfield can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Braishfield?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Braishfield. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Braishfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in Braishfield
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Braishfield, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Braishfield get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Braishfield is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Braishfield (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.3 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Braishfield Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the quote in Braishfield
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Braishfield
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Braishfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
