About our TR19 inspection in Baythorne End
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Baythorne End
When a site in Baythorne End changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stoke College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Baythorne End.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
