Questions from Nash
Will you come out to Nash?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nash is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nash?
Fire safety enforcement in Nash is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
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’re fully insured.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will plan it.
TR19 inspection in Nash, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Nash, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nash.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Nash
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nash
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
A hospital like Bletchley Community Hospital, about 4.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
Kitchen extracts in Nash
At about 48 miles from central London, Nash sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Nash. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Nash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Nash is about 5 miles south-west of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. Nash gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our Milton Keynes coverage runs to 73 places, Nash among them.
We cover every part of the MK17 postcode area for TR19 inspection and the roads nearby. Streets in the area include High Street, Thornborough Road and Winslow Road, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
