TR19 Inspection in Brookgreen

- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Brookgreen
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. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Brookgreen, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Brookgreen
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brookgreen (Mottistone Manor is about 0.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What affects the quote in Brookgreen
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Brookgreen can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Brookgreen: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brookgreen?
Food hygiene inspections in Brookgreen are carried out by Isle of Wight council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brookgreen?
Fire safety enforcement in Brookgreen is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
TR19 inspection in Brookgreen: the local picture
Brookgreen is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Brookgreen. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Brookgreen are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Brookgreen, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why act early in Brookgreen
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Brookgreen rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
