Book TR19 inspection in East Stratton

Do you need TR19 inspection in East Stratton?

Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.

Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
  • Missing access panels found on survey
  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Missing TR19 certificates or history

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in East Stratton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Before you book anyone

  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • How they set the interval to the next visit

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East Stratton

Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in East Stratton and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, on post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

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

What your team can do, and what needs us

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. That is our job.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What the work involves, part by part

Vertical risers

Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.

Canopy and plenum

The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.

Questions from East Stratton

Do you work overnight in East Stratton?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in East Stratton needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you cover smaller places like East Stratton?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Stratton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.

What is grease thickness testing?

It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do we have to follow TR19 by 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.

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, along with any actions needed.

Leave it or put it right?

A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. In a place like East Stratton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like East Stratton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Advice

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in East Stratton

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • How big the system is
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

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.

Helping us quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
