When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Mechanical faults in the extract
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

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

How we handle TR19 inspection in Milland

Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you are dealing with parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.

For a kitchen in or near Milland, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Milland, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Wide photos 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

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Keep the route to access panels clear
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs

Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.

Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Milland

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Milland?

Kitchens in Milland are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Milland?

It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Milland. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

What types of premises do you cover?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

How long does a TR19 inspection take?

Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.

Do you work out of hours?

Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

What is post-clean verification?

Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.

Can you price the work without visiting?

In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.

Why act early in Milland

Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. It’s simpler to plan the work at Milland now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Why us?

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What your team can do, and what needs us

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Milland kitchens: local notes

Food hygiene inspections in Milland are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Milland is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

School kitchens, at schools like Hollycombe Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Milland, such as Cowdray House about 4.7 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Milland is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Milland or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Milland among them. Guildford is in our area too, around 18 miles away.

We work across the GU30 postcode area for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. TR19 inspection is available to premises on Milland Lane, Mill Vale Meadows and Drakeleys Field and the roads around them. We also cover Trotton Marsh (1 mile south), Borden (2 miles south-west), Rake (2 miles west), Chithurst (2 miles south) and Rogate (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Havant (14 miles south-west), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (11 miles north-west), Waterlooville (15 miles south-west) and Petersfield (6 miles west).
