TR19 inspections in Moortown
TR19 inspection for Moortown, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
TR19 inspection in Moortown, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Moortown, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Moortown
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Moortown, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Moortown is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in Moortown
The coast is only about 2 miles from Moortown. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moortown. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Fire safety in Moortown falls to 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.
For schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 1.3 miles west), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Moortown is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Moortown questions
Which environmental health team covers Moortown?
Food hygiene inspections in Moortown are carried out by Isle of Wight council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Moortown?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Moortown. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you cover Moortown?
Yes. We cover Moortown and across the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
