Isle of Wight · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Bonchurch TR19 inspection
One call covers TR19 inspection in Bonchurch: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
TR19 inspection in Bonchurch, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bonchurch, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Common questions in Bonchurch
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bonchurch?
Kitchens in Bonchurch are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Bonchurch?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bonchurch included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Why deal with it now?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bonchurch affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
