When to call us in Mislingford
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Swanmore College of Technology tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

TR19 inspection in Mislingford
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Mislingford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Mislingford falls to 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.

What else we do in Mislingford
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Never cook with filters missing
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Questions from Mislingford
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mislingford?
Food hygiene inspections in Mislingford are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mislingford?
Mislingford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover Mislingford?
Yes. Our technicians work in Mislingford, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mislingford.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
