About our TR19 inspection in Wecock Farm
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right.
Around a smaller place like Wecock Farm, 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 cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Wecock Farm
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem 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.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Wecock Farm.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What else we do in Wecock Farm
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Wecock Farm questions

Do you cover smaller places like Wecock Farm?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wecock Farm is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Is TR19 cleaning the 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.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
