TR19 inspections in Carisbrooke
TR19 inspection for Carisbrooke, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
About our TR19 inspection in Carisbrooke
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Carisbrooke and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
For a smaller kitchen near Carisbrooke, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Carisbrooke that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Even a site near Carisbrooke that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help 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 send details by email.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Carisbrooke, not ours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
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.

What else we do in Carisbrooke
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Carisbrooke questions
Do you work in villages like Carisbrooke?
Yes, Carisbrooke is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Carisbrooke?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Carisbrooke?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
TR19 inspection around Carisbrooke
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Carisbrooke, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Carisbrooke 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. Food hygiene inspections in Carisbrooke are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.3 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Carisbrooke is St Mary's Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Carisbrooke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Carisbrooke is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Carisbrooke gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 13 miles from Carisbrooke.
We cover every part of PO30 for TR19 inspection and the roads nearby. We cover sites on Down Lane, Purdy Road and Castle Lane and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Clatterford (1 mile south), Gunville (1 mile north), Plaish (1 mile south-west), Bowcombe (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). If your site is somewhere remote, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
