How we handle TR19 inspection in Little Posbrook
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. We are often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Little Posbrook, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Little Posbrook questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little Posbrook during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Little Posbrook, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Little Posbrook?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you cover Little Posbrook?
Yes. Our technicians work in Little Posbrook, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Little Posbrook run smoothly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
TR19 inspection in Little Posbrook: the local picture
Little Posbrook lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Little Posbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Little Posbrook are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fareham Community Hospital about 2.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Little Posbrook, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stubbington House School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Posbrook
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
