TR19 inspection in Titchfield Common, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We’re often asked to deal with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Titchfield Common gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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’re fully insured.

FAQs for Titchfield Common
Who is the fire and rescue service for Titchfield Common?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Titchfield Common. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can school kitchens in Titchfield Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Titchfield Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
When should we have our next grease test?
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.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
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. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a site near Titchfield Common, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Titchfield Common
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John or elsewhere in Titchfield Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Titchfield Common
At about 2 miles from the coast, Titchfield Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Titchfield Common. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Titchfield Common. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
