How we handle TR19 inspection in Ashley
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. We are often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, across deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ashley gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Ashley
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Other services in Ashley
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A planned visit to Ashley fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Common questions in Ashley
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Ashley?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ashley than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ashley?
In Ashley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Kitchen extracts in Ashley
Sea air reaches Ashley, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Ashley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Ashley sits within the area of 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near New Milton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ashley Junior School or anywhere near Ashley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Peter's Church or anywhere around Ashley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Local landmarks in Ashley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Plough Public House, The Arnewood School and Ballard School. The closest station to Ashley is New Milton station, about 0.7 miles south-west. A little further out are Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (1.4 miles west) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (4.3 miles east). For a walk, there’s Milford on Sea LNR.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a smaller place like Ashley, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
