About our TR19 inspection in Little Ann
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help, from insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Little Ann, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Little Ann can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Little Ann
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for any of the following:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Little Ann, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How the job changes from site to site

Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
