About our TR19 inspection in Bembridge
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you’re dealing with uncertainty over how often to clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
Around a smaller place like Bembridge, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a place like Bembridge, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease, kitchens and Bembridge
Sea air reaches Bembridge, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Bembridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bembridge. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Bembridge are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children about 5.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Bembridge Methodist Church or anywhere around Bembridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bembridge (Yaverland Manor is about 2.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Bembridge is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. If you need TR19 inspection in Bembridge, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

TR19 inspection in PO35 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. TR19 inspection is available to premises on High Street, Church Road and Station Road and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Foreland Fields (1 mile south-east), Hillway (1 mile south-west), St Helens (1 mile north-west), Gaskins (2 miles west) and Nettlestone (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (9 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north-west), Cowes (11 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south-west), Shanklin (6 miles south-west) and Ventnor (8 miles south-west). Island and remote sites take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Local landmarks in Bembridge

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bembridge and across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bembridge
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bembridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Bembridge is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does the sea air around Bembridge make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Bembridge than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
