About our TR19 inspection in Lambs Green
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you’re dealing with an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
In a small place like Lambs Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 carry full insurance.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lambs Green
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Common questions in Lambs Green
Do you cover smaller places like Lambs Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lambs Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Lambs Green?
Kitchens in Lambs Green are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In a place like Lambs Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Lambs Green
Lambs Green, about 27 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. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Lambs Green. 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.
A hospital like Crawley Hospital, about 2.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary Magdalene church or elsewhere in Lambs Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rusper Primary School or anywhere near Lambs Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Lambs Green is about 3 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Lambs Green, we can take on TR19 inspection.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lambs Green.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
