TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bramling
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Work in a small place like Bramling starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bramling?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bramling (Goodnestone Park is about 2.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Common questions in Bramling
Can you come to Bramling after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Bramling be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bramling. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you cover Bramling?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Bramling included.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bramling
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Bramling a current picture. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

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 around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Bramling, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
