About our TR19 inspection in Longmoor
Taking on a kitchen in Longmoor with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
Somewhere as small as Longmoor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In a small place like Longmoor, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Longmoor: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Longmoor?
Food hygiene inspections in Longmoor are carried out by East Hampshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Longmoor?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Longmoor doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Longmoor
The fire and rescue service for Longmoor is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Longmoor, about 45 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 2.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Longmoor.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What we are called out for in Longmoor
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
What we are most often called out for:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Greatham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
