About our TR19 inspection in Cramhurst
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before 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. We are often asked to deal with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common problems we fix in Cramhurst
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 1.3 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Cramhurst questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Cramhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Cramhurst are carried out by Waverley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Cramhurst?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cramhurst included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.

What else we do in Cramhurst
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Cramhurst can be planned properly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchen extracts in Cramhurst
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cramhurst. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cramhurst. 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. Fire safety in Cramhurst falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Milford (Surrey) station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Evangelist's Church or elsewhere in Cramhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why act early in Cramhurst
Sites in Cramhurst that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cramhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
