Your questions about TR19 inspection in Long Sutton
Which council inspects kitchens in Long Sutton?
That is Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Long Sutton. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Long Sutton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Long Sutton. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Long Sutton
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Long Sutton and the rest of Hampshire. If you have ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
Work in a small place like Long Sutton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. In a place like Long Sutton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Long Sutton
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A written report with pictures after each visit
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Long Sutton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

If you need TR19 inspection in Long Sutton, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Long Sutton?
When a site in Long Sutton changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Long Sutton Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Long Sutton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Grease, kitchens and Long Sutton
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Long Sutton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Long Sutton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Long Sutton are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Long Sutton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
