TR19 inspection in Sherfield English, done properly

TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.

For a kitchen in or near Sherfield English, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

A written report with photos follows every 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.

Common questions in Sherfield English

Do you cover smaller places like Sherfield English?

Yes, Sherfield English is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Which fire service covers Sherfield English?

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sherfield English. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What do the grease readings need to be?

Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.

How much does TR19 inspection cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

How long does grease testing take?

It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Why act early in Sherfield English

Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Why book with us

  • Full insurance on every job
  • Trading since 2009
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Do you need TR19 inspection in Sherfield English?

When a site in Sherfield English changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.

Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Confirming a clean reached the whole system
  • Missing access panels found on survey
  • Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Sherfield English, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Design faults in the extract system
  • Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
  • Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What the work involves, part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.

Extract fan and discharge

The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.

Grease, kitchens and Sherfield English

Fire safety in Sherfield English falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Sherfield English, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Landford Manor, about 2.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Sherfield English; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What we do, step by step

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Sherfield English run smoothly.

  1. The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
  2. Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
  3. Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
  4. Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
  5. We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Getting a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
