About our TR19 inspection in Vernham Dean
Taking on a kitchen in Vernham Dean with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are parts of the system left out of past cleans and checking the result of a recent clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Vernham Dean.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Vernham Dean
Is Vernham Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, Vernham Dean is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Vernham Dean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Vernham Dean keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a place like Vernham Dean, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
