TR19 inspection around Hannington
Fire safety in Hannington falls to 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. Hannington, about 51 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hannington is Park Prewett Hospital, about 4.8 miles east.
Hannington is about 5 miles south-west of Tadley, in Hampshire.

TR19 inspection in Hannington, done properly
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 clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for sections of duct that can’t be reached and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Hannington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Hannington
Can you work in Hannington outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Hannington?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hannington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t 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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hannington.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- 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, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hannington
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hannington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hannington and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why act early in Hannington
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why Hannington businesses choose us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
