TR19 inspection in Brook, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Brook and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Brook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Brook
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Brook shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Brook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What affects the quote in Brook
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Brook kitchens: local notes
Brook is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Brook on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Brook, up to about a mile and a half out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kitchens in Brook get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 1.1 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Brook is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your site is in the middle of Brook or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover 125 places, Brook among them. Southampton is in our area too, about 19 miles from Brook.
All of PO30 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Carpenters Lane and Coastguard Lane, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Dunsbury (1 mile north), Brookgreen (1 mile south-east), Hulverstone (1 mile east), Shalcombe (1 mile north-east) and Chilton Green (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Why act early in Brook
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brook is calmer for everyone.
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 we start.

Brook questions
Can the work in Brook be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brook needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Brook?
Brook is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brook.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
