How we handle TR19 inspection in Nash Street
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Nash Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Nash Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

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.
When your team notices a problem 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.

What else we do in Nash Street
Nash Street: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Nash Street?
Yes, Nash Street is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nash Street?
In Nash Street, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Nash Street kitchens: local notes
Look up Nash Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Nash Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nash Street. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Nash Street sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital Railway about 2.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Horselunges Manor, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Nash Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nash Street
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Nash Street shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chiddingly Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
