How we handle TR19 inspection in Corhampton
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Corhampton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Common problems we fix in Corhampton
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
For schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

FAQs for Corhampton
Can a school canteen extract in Corhampton be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Corhampton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Corhampton?
Fire safety enforcement in Corhampton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Corhampton in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Corhampton included.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, 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 Corhampton can be planned properly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
