TR19 Inspection in Moorhouse Bank
Our technicians work in Moorhouse Bank on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Moorhouse Bank
Taking on a kitchen in Moorhouse Bank with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, across insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Moorhouse Bank is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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’re fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Moorhouse Bank
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moorhouse Bank. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Moorhouse Bank falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moorhouse Bank. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's or elsewhere in Moorhouse Bank, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tandridge Priory about 1 mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Oxted School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Local landmarks in Moorhouse Bank

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Moorhouse Bank.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moorhouse Bank
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. For a site in Moorhouse Bank, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Moorhouse Bank
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Moorhouse Bank: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Moorhouse Bank?
That is London Fire Brigade. 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 Moorhouse Bank?
That is Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Moorhouse Bank. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, give us a ring 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. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
