How we handle TR19 inspection in Middleton
Before any clean in Middleton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Middleton 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Kitchen extracts in Middleton
We cover Middleton, about 60 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Middleton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Longparish Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Middleton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Middleton is about 4 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Middleton or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Middleton is one of them. There’s also a page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Middleton.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What we’re called out for in Middleton
Grease is 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. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Middleton, about 4.8 miles west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Middleton questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Middleton?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Middleton?
Kitchens in Middleton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is Middleton in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Middleton.
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 are fully insured.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Middleton?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
