About our TR19 inspection in Vanbrugh Park Estate
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and extracts that have never been grease tested.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Vanbrugh Park Estate is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Vanbrugh Park Estate
Can parking be tricky for a job in Vanbrugh Park Estate?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Vanbrugh Park Estate out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 47 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Vanbrugh Park Estate. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
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 testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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 carry full insurance.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Vanbrugh Park Estate.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What affects the quote in Vanbrugh Park Estate
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 279 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 115 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Vanbrugh Park Estate.

When to call us in Vanbrugh Park Estate
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Commuter trade near Maze Hill station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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, next to our reports.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
