TR19 inspection near Ashley Heath

Common problems we fix in Ashley Heath

Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Missing TR19 certificates or history
  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Missing access panels found on survey
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ashley Heath, about 1.6 miles south-west.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

TR19 inspection in Ashley Heath

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 access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.

In a smaller place like Ashley Heath, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • Book the next test on the date in the report
  • Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked

The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.

Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:

  • A faulty or failing extract fan
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
  • Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on in Ashley Heath

  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Access surveys
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Insurer audits
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Post-clean checks

Kitchen extracts in Ashley Heath

Kitchens in Ashley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Ashley Heath is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Ashley Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like St Ives Primary & Nursery School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from Ashley Heath

Who inspects food businesses in Ashley Heath?

The local authority for Ashley Heath is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Can you come to Ashley Heath after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Ashley Heath can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

How much time does an inspection need?

Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you work in Ashley Heath?

Yes. We work in Ashley Heath and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How much notice do you need?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What do you do with what you remove?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashley Heath

Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. In a smaller place like Ashley Heath, a site that has to close is felt quickly.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What you get with us

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • We are fully insured
  • Trading since 2009
  • One number for every site across the South East and London

How the visit works

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Everything the job in Ashley Heath needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. We photograph each area to record how it was left.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice

Part by part

Vertical risers

Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.

Extract fan and discharge

A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
