TR19 inspection in Clatterford, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, 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. In a small place like Clatterford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Clatterford
Can you work in Clatterford outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Clatterford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Clatterford?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Clatterford?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease, kitchens and Clatterford
There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways across Clatterford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. In Clatterford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Clatterford. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Carisbrooke Castle, about 0.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Clatterford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 1.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Clatterford is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. 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. The price is fixed before any work starts.
