About our TR19 inspection in Staplers
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about missing access panels found on survey and extracts that have never been grease tested.
Around a smaller place like Staplers, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Grease, kitchens and Staplers
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 62 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Staplers, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Staplers get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Staplers is 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.
Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Staplers, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Barton Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Staplers is St Mary's Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. A planned visit to Staplers fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Staplers
Which environmental health team covers Staplers?
In Staplers, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Staplers?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Staplers is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Staplers
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
