TR19 inspection for sites in Newbury's

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
  • Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
  • Never cook with filters missing
  • Book the next test on the date in the report

After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.

Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.

TR19 inspection in Newbury's, done properly

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 confirming a clean reached the whole system and sections of duct that can’t be reached, on insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.

Work in a small place like Newbury's starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newbury's

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Photo reports with every job
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Newbury's

Can you come to Newbury's after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Newbury's keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can school kitchens in Newbury's be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Newbury's, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.

What do you do with what you remove?

We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

How long does grease testing take?

As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.

Will you produce a report for our insurer?

Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Newbury's

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Newbury's. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Newbury's get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Newbury's is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Uplands Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Rehoboth Chapel, or anywhere in Newbury's, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ticehurst House Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price TR19 inspection

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • What state the system is in
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

If you need TR19 inspection in Newbury's, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels

A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.

How it works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Newbury's.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Getting a quote

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What a clean will not put right

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
  • Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
