About our TR19 inspection in Wanshurst Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Wanshurst Green, 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.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wanshurst Green.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
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 will not 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: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Common problems we fix in Wanshurst Green
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Wanshurst Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
