TR19 inspection in Everton

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Everton

Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Everton

If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. A fault that closes a site in a village like Everton affects everyone who depends on it.

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Why Everton businesses choose us

  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

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. Leave those to us.

How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Everton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  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. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Ask for a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
  • Tell us if menus or opening hours change
  • Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
  • Report grease dripping from the canopy

Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.

Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:

  • Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
  • A faulty or failing extract fan

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Questions from Everton

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Everton in the summer holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Everton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Can you get to a site in Everton?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Everton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?

Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

How much does TR19 inspection cost?

We do not publish prices, because the cost 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.

Can the work be done while we are closed?

Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

TR19 inspection in Everton: the local picture

Everton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Everton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Everton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

School kitchens, at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Everton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common problems we fix in Everton

Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.

Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
  • Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Everton, about 2.5 miles north-east.

What your quote should include

Questions to ask before booking

For landlords and multi-site operators

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.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
