How we handle TR19 inspection in Martin
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Martin and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. We’re often asked to deal with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Martin starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Martin
Can the work in Martin be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Martin?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Martin. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
Is Martin in your area?
Yes. We work in Martin and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Martin
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Somewhere as small as Martin, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
TR19 inspection in Martin: the local picture
The fire and rescue service for Martin is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Martin. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Martin, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens in and around Martin, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report.

Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
