TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Furzey Lodge
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
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.
The report is your 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Furzey Lodge
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Questions from Furzey Lodge
Which council inspects kitchens in Furzey Lodge?
Kitchens in Furzey Lodge are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Furzey Lodge in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Furzey Lodge. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. 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?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Furzey Lodge
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Furzey Lodge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Furzey Lodge get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Furzey Lodge falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 1.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Beaulieu Village Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Furzey Lodge, 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.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
