TR19 inspection in Goodworth Clatford, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Goodworth Clatford businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Grease, kitchens and Goodworth Clatford
Fire safety in Goodworth Clatford 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. Food hygiene inspections in Goodworth Clatford are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Goodworth Clatford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Clatford Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Goodworth Clatford can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
FAQs for Goodworth Clatford
Do you work at weekends in Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Goodworth Clatford needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Goodworth Clatford?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Goodworth Clatford. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Goodworth Clatford
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 2.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a written report and photos are included
