TR19 inspection in Micklefield, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. 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. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Micklefield gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Around Micklefield, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

FAQs for Micklefield
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Micklefield?
Micklefield is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Micklefield within the area you cover?
Yes. Micklefield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What accreditations do you have?
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’re fully insured.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Micklefield
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Micklefield
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
