TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lower Green
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for extracts that have never been grease tested and sites with gaps in their extract records, across wet film thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Lower Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lower Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Lower Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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 photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Lower Green
Do you work in villages like Lower Green?
Yes. Lower Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lower Green?
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
How often should grease be tested?
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.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What affects the quote in Lower Green
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
When to call us in Lower Green
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Lower Green shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
