Leave it or put it right?
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’re ready when asked. If the system at a site near Northington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

TR19 inspection in Northington
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and missing access panels found on survey, across post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Northington 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 are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Northington
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
For kitchens in and around Northington, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

- Proof of insurance

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Northington kitchens: local notes
At about 54 miles from central London, Northington sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Northington are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Northington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Northington.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Northington
Can you work in Northington outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Northington needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Northington?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Northington. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
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 testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
