Common questions in Adgestone
Can the work in Adgestone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Adgestone can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Adgestone?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Adgestone. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
TR19 inspection in Adgestone
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Adgestone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A planned visit to Adgestone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Adgestone and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Adgestone
Adgestone lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 16 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Adgestone. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Adgestone are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. John the Evangelist or anywhere around Adgestone, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 2.7 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Adgestone, such as Morton Manor about 0.7 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
