TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in South Wonston
Taking on a kitchen in South Wonston with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and checking the result of a recent clean, on wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as South Wonston, 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, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to South Wonston can be planned properly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common problems we fix in South Wonston
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Where a hall near St Margaret's, or anywhere in South Wonston, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. If the system at a site near South Wonston fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

- Trading since 2009
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
