TR19 inspection in Axmansford
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. Typical jobs include systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Axmansford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a small place like Axmansford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Never cook with filters missing
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Axmansford run smoothly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in Axmansford

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Axmansford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Axmansford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

FAQs for Axmansford
Can school kitchens in Axmansford be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Axmansford. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work at weekends in Axmansford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Axmansford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, 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.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
