How we handle TR19 inspection in Rotherwick

A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and confirming a clean reached the whole system.

Work in a small place like Rotherwick starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Why deal with it now?

If a kitchen in Rotherwick 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. In a place like Rotherwick, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Why us?

  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
  • Fully insured
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • In business since 2009

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Keep the route to access panels clear
  • Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • Diary the next grease test and clean

For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.

Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Rotherwick

You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.

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

  • Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
  • Confirming a clean reached the whole system
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records

Where a hall near Rotherwick Church, or anywhere in Rotherwick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rotherwick.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Rotherwick

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The size of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The times the site is available

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • 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. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Rotherwick

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Rotherwick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Rotherwick 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 Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rotherwick. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.2 miles north), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Whitewater Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Rotherwick is about 6 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Rotherwick gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Rotherwick is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 10 miles from Rotherwick.

Rotherwick questions

Which environmental health team covers Rotherwick?

The local authority for Rotherwick is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Do you cover smaller places like Rotherwick?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rotherwick included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?

We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Why survey before a clean?

It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.

Do you work out of hours?

Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

At what point does grease need cleaning?

Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
