TR19 inspection across Gundleton

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Gundleton

BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you are dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right, from insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks onwards.

Work in a small place like Gundleton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size of the system
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • What state the system is in
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Common questions in Gundleton

Who is the fire and rescue service for Gundleton?

Gundleton is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Do you work overnight in Gundleton?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Gundleton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?

After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.

When should we have our next grease test?

Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Gundleton

Gundleton, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Gundleton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Gundleton, such as Hinton Ampner House about 4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gundleton

An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Gundleton a current picture. In a place like Gundleton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How it works

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Gundleton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  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. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

How to get a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Advice

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Between visits

So the system stays in good health:

  • Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
  • Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
  • Diary the next grease test and clean
  • Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans

After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.

Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.

What a clean won’t put right

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

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on in Gundleton

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

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
