TR19 inspection in Lower Cadsden, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Lower Cadsden 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. We are often asked to deal with uncertainty over how often to clean and checking the result of a recent clean, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Lower Cadsden starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lower Cadsden
Do you work overnight in Lower Cadsden?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Lower Cadsden needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Lower Cadsden?
Yes. Lower Cadsden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Cadsden run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What else we do in Lower Cadsden
Why act early in Lower Cadsden
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Lower Cadsden a current picture. In a place like Lower Cadsden, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Lower Cadsden?
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital about 4.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How they set the interval to the next visit
