Penton Grafton kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 pubs, bars and clubs in Penton Grafton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Penton Grafton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Penton Grafton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Penton Grafton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Penton Grafton is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.7 miles east.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Penton Grafton
Before any clean in Penton Grafton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Penton Grafton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Book the next test on the date in the report
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Penton Grafton knowing what to expect.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. A planned visit to Penton Grafton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Photo reports with every job
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Penton Grafton
Do you cover smaller places like Penton Grafton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Penton Grafton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Penton Grafton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you accredited?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Common problems we fix in Penton Grafton
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Harrow Way Community School or anywhere near Penton Grafton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
