TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lyne
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Lyne and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Lyne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of 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’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lyne
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Lyne a current picture. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lyne
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Lyne: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Lyne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Lyne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lyne is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
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.
Other services in Lyne
When to call us in Lyne
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lyne and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Lyne
The Food Standards Agency lists about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Lyne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Lyne get their food hygiene inspections from Runnymede council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Lyne is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lyne (Botleys Mansion is about 1 mile south), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Lyne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
