TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Mill Lane
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Mill Lane starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Mill Lane
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fleet Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mill Lane, about 2.9 miles north.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Mill Lane, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Mill Lane rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Mill Lane: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Mill Lane?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mill Lane included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Mill Lane be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Mill Lane. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will plan it.
What affects the quote in Mill Lane
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
