Bursledon TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection in Bursledon from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
TR19 inspection in Bursledon, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We are often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Kitchens around a place like Bursledon are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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 are fully insured.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

Bursledon kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Bursledon, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bursledon. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Bursledon sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St Paul’s Church, or anywhere in Bursledon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Bursledon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Bursledon is about 2 miles south of Hedge End, in Hampshire.

Near you in Bursledon
Around Bursledon, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Hamble School, Grove Park Business and Enterprise College and Westwood Woodland Park. The nearest railway station is Bursledon station, about 0.5 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum (1.1 miles east) and Coldeast (1.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Netley Common.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
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 grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Common problems we fix in Bursledon
When a site in Bursledon changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
For schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It 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. Everything the job in Bursledon needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Bursledon: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bursledon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bursledon. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Bursledon?
It can. Bursledon is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you work in Bursledon?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Bursledon included.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
