TR19 inspections in North Looe
Specialist TR19 inspection for North Looe: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
TR19 inspection in North Looe, done properly
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near North Looe, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in North Looe
Can you get to a site in North Looe?
Yes. North Looe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in North Looe?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in North Looe needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
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. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we are called out for in North Looe
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
For kitchens close to Epsom Downs station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like North Looe, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
If you need TR19 inspection in North Looe, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
