TR19 inspection in Westley

How we handle TR19 inspection in Westley

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. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are uncertainty over how often to clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.

In a village or hamlet like Westley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Westley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

When to call us in Westley

Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What affects the quote in Westley

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The size of the system

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 are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

TR19 inspection in Westley: the local picture

Kitchens in Westley get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Westley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

School kitchens, at schools like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Westley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Westley is about 4 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. From the centre of Westley to the outskirts, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Part by part

Restaurants, pubs and hotels

BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.

Extract fan and discharge

A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a village or hamlet like Westley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
  2. We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
  3. We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
  4. Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
  5. The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.

How to prepare

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Ask for a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why deal with it now?

After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. It’s simpler to plan the work at Westley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

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.

Why us?

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Each visit written up, with photos

FAQs for Westley

Which fire service covers Westley?

That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Which environmental health team covers Westley?

The local authority for Westley is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Do we have to follow TR19 by law?

No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

At what point does grease need cleaning?

Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.

What is post-clean verification?

We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.

How much notice should we give?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

What does a pre-clean survey involve?

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