TR19 inspection in Enham Alamein
Taking on a kitchen in Enham Alamein with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. We are often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Enham Alamein, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Enham Alamein can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Why it’s worth doing now in Enham Alamein
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Enham Alamein
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
For schools such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
