Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Mundaydean Bottom
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
About our TR19 inspection in Mundaydean Bottom
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you’re dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Mundaydean Bottom: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Mundaydean Bottom?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Mundaydean Bottom needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Mundaydean Bottom?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mundaydean Bottom is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Mundaydean Bottom?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.

When to call us in Mundaydean Bottom
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Historic houses near Mundaydean Bottom, such as Harleyford Manor about 2.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
