TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Plaish
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Plaish, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

- Design faults in the extract system

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What affects the quote in Plaish
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Plaish knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Why deal with it now?
Sites in Plaish that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. A planned visit to Plaish is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
TR19 inspection in Plaish: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Plaish. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Plaish is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Plaish. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Plaish (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Plaish is about 2 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Plaish to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 14 miles away.
We cover every part of PO30 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Bowcombe (1 mile south-west), Clatterford (1 mile north-east), Carisbrooke (1 mile north-east), Gunville (1 mile north) and Gatcombe (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (8 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (8 miles east), Shanklin (8 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north-east). For island and remote sites, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Plaish?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro or anywhere around Plaish, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Plaish
Do you work in villages like Plaish?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Plaish included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Plaish?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
