Keeping the system healthy

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Flag oily drips near the extract
  • Diary the next grease test and clean
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test

Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.

When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Cranbourne

A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.

For a kitchen in or near Cranbourne, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Cranbourne

Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning
  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
  • Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cranbourne Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Cranbourne

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cranbourne?

Fire safety enforcement in Cranbourne is handled by Royal Berkshire 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.

Can you get to a site in Cranbourne?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cranbourne included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Is TR19 cleaning the law?

No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.

When should we have our next grease test?

Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How much notice do you need?

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.

Are you accredited?

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?

Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • How big the system is
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Cranbourne kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cranbourne. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In Cranbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. 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. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Cranbourne. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cranbourne, about 2.8 miles south. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cranbourne (St Leonard's Hill is about 1.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Cranbourne is about 3 miles south-west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Whatever kind of site you run in Cranbourne, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cranbourne

A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What happens on the day

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Cranbourne is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Getting a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
