TR19 inspection across Durley

TR19 inspection in Durley

Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Durley and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and missing access panels found on survey.

Somewhere as small as Durley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Durley

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Durley: your questions answered

Which fire authority looks after Durley?

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Durley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Will you come out to Durley?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

When should we have our next grease test?

It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.

Can you work evenings and weekends?

Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.

Will you produce a report for our insurer?

Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.

Part by part

Vertical risers

Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.

Extract fan and discharge

The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Durley can be planned properly.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Before we arrive

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

TR19 inspection in Durley: the local picture

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars in and around Durley, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Durley are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Durley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Durley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Durley, such as South Stoneham House about 5 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Durley

Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
  • Surveys needed before quoting a full clean

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Durley, about 2.8 miles south-west.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
  • Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge

After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.

Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.

When it’s something else

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • A faulty or failing extract fan
  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers

  • Access surveys
  • Insurer audits
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Post-clean checks
  • Wet film thickness tests

What your team can do, and what needs us

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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
