TR19 inspection in Bramley, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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 have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help.
In a smaller place like Bramley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Other services in Bramley
Do you need TR19 inspection in Bramley?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bramley Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Bramley questions
Can you come to Bramley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Bramley needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bramley?
Kitchens in Bramley are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a place like Bramley are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
