TR19 inspection in Puckpool, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Puckpool, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in Puckpool has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Puckpool rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Puckpool?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Puckpool, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Puckpool
The coast is only about 1 mile from Puckpool. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Puckpool. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Puckpool. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Nunwell House is about 3.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Puckpool is about 1 mile east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight.

We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles west), Cowes (8 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (7 miles south), Ventnor (10 miles south) and East Cowes (7 miles west).

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Puckpool
Which council inspects kitchens in Puckpool?
In Puckpool, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Puckpool?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Puckpool included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed 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 grease readings help set the real interval.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Puckpool, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
