TR19 inspection in Winford, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Winford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Design faults in the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Winford that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Winford: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Winford?
In Winford, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Winford within the area you cover?
Yes, Winford is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. For a village or hamlet like Winford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
TR19 inspection around Winford
The coast is only about 2 miles from Winford. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Winford. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. In Winford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Winford is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.6 miles south-east. Haseley Manor, about 1.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Winford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
