TR19 inspection in Porchfield
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Somewhere as small as Porchfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What we are called out for in Porchfield
When a site in Porchfield changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Swainston Manor, about 2.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Porchfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Porchfield.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Questions from Porchfield
Which fire authority looks after Porchfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Porchfield is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Porchfield outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Porchfield needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Porchfield?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
