About our TR19 inspection in Hartley Wespall
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and missing access panels found on survey, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Hartley Wespall, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, 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.

Kitchen extracts in Hartley Wespall
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Hartley Wespall and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Hartley Wespall are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hartley Wespall. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin or elsewhere in Hartley Wespall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Hartley Wespall, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys

Hartley Wespall: your questions answered
Is Hartley Wespall within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hartley Wespall included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Hartley Wespall after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hartley Wespall keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. If the system at a site near Hartley Wespall fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
