Holt Pound TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection in Holt Pound from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Checking the result of a recent clean
Common problems we fix in Holt Pound
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint James, or anywhere in Holt Pound, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Holt Pound
Before any clean in Holt Pound, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and extracts that have never been grease tested, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep to the recommended interval
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.

- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Design faults in the extract system
