Helping us quote

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

How we handle TR19 inspection in Three Leg Cross
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Common call-outs are for kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Three Leg Cross, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Three Leg Cross
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Three Leg Cross, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Three Leg Cross now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
