TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Darby Green
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Darby Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Common problems we fix in Darby Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Barnabas Church or elsewhere in Darby Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Planning a trip to Darby Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Darby Green.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Darby Green: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Darby Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Darby Green. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Darby Green?
Yes. Darby Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, and that’s where we come in.
