About our TR19 inspection in Pitch Place
Taking on a kitchen in Pitch Place with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, across pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Pitch Place starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

TR19 inspection around Pitch Place
The fire and rescue service for Pitch Place is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Pitch Place, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Pitch Place, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we’re called out for in Pitch Place
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pitch Place, about 3.9 miles south.

FAQs for Pitch Place
Which council inspects kitchens in Pitch Place?
In Pitch Place, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Pitch Place within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Pitch Place
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pitch Place
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitch Place
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
