TR19 inspection in Wadwick

What a clean will not put right

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • Design faults in the extract system
  • Mechanical faults in the extract

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

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

How we handle TR19 inspection in Wadwick

Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and missing access panels found on survey.

For a kitchen in or near Wadwick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?

Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What we do, step by step

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Wadwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Getting a quote

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Wadwick

Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
  • Checking the result of a recent clean
  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Extracts that have never been grease tested

A TR19® clean in Wadwick doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy and plenum

The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.

Horizontal duct runs

If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
  • Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
  • Tell us if menus or opening hours change
  • Store grease readings where your insurer can see them

Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.

Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wadwick

Do you work at weekends in Wadwick?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Wadwick keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

Which environmental health team covers Wadwick?

In Wadwick, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?

It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.

How much does TR19 inspection cost in Wadwick?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?

Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.

Why survey before a clean?

It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.

Kitchen extracts in Wadwick

In Wadwick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
