TR19 inspections in Ibworth

- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ibworth can be planned properly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload

How we handle TR19 inspection in Ibworth
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Ibworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we are called out for in Ibworth
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. 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:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Park Prewett Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ibworth, about 3.1 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Ibworth: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Ibworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ibworth is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Ibworth outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ibworth needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Ibworth?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Ibworth
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
- A written report with photos after each visit
