TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Blackgang
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you’re dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Blackgang, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

Questions from Blackgang
Do you work at weekends in Blackgang?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Blackgang keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Blackgang?
Kitchens in Blackgang are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Blackgang

What TR19 inspection looks like in Blackgang
The coast is only about 1 mile from Blackgang. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blackgang. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Blackgang sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Niton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Blackgang, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wolverton Manor is about 4.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it 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 Blackgang and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
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.
Advice
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Blackgang
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
