TR19 inspection around Bramshaw
Bramshaw sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Bramshaw get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 4.1 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bramshaw, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

TR19 inspection in Bramshaw
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 clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Bramshaw, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have 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’re fully insured.

Common questions in Bramshaw
Which environmental health team covers Bramshaw?
Kitchens in Bramshaw are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Bramshaw?
Bramshaw is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bramshaw
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Bramshaw, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Bramshaw
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Every job surveyed first
What affects the quote in Bramshaw
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we’re called out for in Bramshaw
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Historic houses near Bramshaw, such as Landford Manor about 2.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Bramshaw are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
