TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Durrants
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with systems that need surveying before cleaning and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like Durrants starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re 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, trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Durrants
At about 3 miles from the coast, Durrants is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops in Durrants and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Durrants sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Baptist or anywhere around Durrants, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Havant Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Durrants
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Durrants in the summer holidays?
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 Durrants, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Durrants?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Durrants. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Durrants, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Durrants
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to 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.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
