- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Newbridge
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and systems that need surveying before cleaning, on wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Newbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Newbridge, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Other services in Newbridge
Newbridge: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newbridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Newbridge are carried out by Isle of Wight council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Newbridge?
It can. Salt air reaches Newbridge, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
What affects the quote in Newbridge
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Newbridge
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.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Michael the Archangel or anywhere around Newbridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- 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
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Grease, kitchens and Newbridge
The coast is only about 3 miles from Newbridge. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Newbridge, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for Newbridge is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Swainston Manor is about 1.8 miles east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newbridge is Whitecroft Hospital, about 5.2 miles east.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Newbridge
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
