Need TR19 inspection in Ossemsley?

What we do, step by step

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ossemsley.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

TR19 inspection in Ossemsley

Taking on a kitchen in Ossemsley with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.

In a village or hamlet like Ossemsley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Ossemsley

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What to send for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

When it’s something else

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
  • Mechanical faults in the extract
  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Ossemsley questions

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Ossemsley during the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ossemsley. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ossemsley?

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

Do we have to follow TR19 by law?

No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you cover Ossemsley?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Ossemsley included.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

How often should grease be tested?

Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Ossemsley

Ossemsley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ossemsley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ossemsley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John or elsewhere in Ossemsley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ballard School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ossemsley

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What we’re called out for in Ossemsley

Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
  • Uncertainty over how often to clean
  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans

A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Proof of insurance

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Leave it or put it right?

Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. Planning a trip to Ossemsley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
