About our TR19 inspection in Spanish Green
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Spanish Green and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about missing access panels found on survey and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near Spanish Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Spanish Green. 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. Spanish Green is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
What affects the quote in Spanish Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Spanish Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What we’re called out for in Spanish Green
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Daneshill School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why it’s worth doing now in Spanish Green
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. In a small place like Spanish Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Spanish Green questions
Will you come out to Spanish Green?
Yes, Spanish Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Spanish Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Spanish Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
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 so they can be sorted first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is TR19?
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 law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
