Your questions about TR19 inspection in Charter Alley
Can you work in Charter Alley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Charter Alley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Charter Alley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Charter Alley. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Charter Alley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Charter Alley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Common problems we fix in Charter Alley
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Priory Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.

What else we do in Charter Alley
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Charter Alley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
