- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Ibthorpe
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 grease readings are taken at set points. If you have cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests 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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

TR19 inspection in Ibthorpe: the local picture
Ibthorpe sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ibthorpe. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. 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 Ibthorpe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

FAQs for Ibthorpe
Will you come out to Ibthorpe?
Yes, Ibthorpe is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Ibthorpe be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ibthorpe does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Ibthorpe, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Ibthorpe and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common problems we fix in Ibthorpe
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ibthorpe, about 4.9 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What paperwork you get at the end
Why it’s worth doing now in Ibthorpe
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. With notice, the visit to Ibthorpe can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
