TR19 inspection in Old Woking
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease, kitchens and Old Woking
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Woking. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Old Woking. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Old Woking get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Old Woking is Woking Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kingfield Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What else we do in Old Woking
Managing agents and facilities teams in Old Woking
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Old Woking
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Old Woking, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Old Woking
Can you get to a site in Old Woking?
Yes, Old Woking is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Old Woking outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Old Woking doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, 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 size of the system and the access make the difference.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Old Woking, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
