TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Loyter's Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Loyter's Green: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Loyter's Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Loyter's Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Loyter's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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 does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Loyter's Green?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, or anywhere in Loyter's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Loyter's Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Loyter's Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
