About our TR19 inspection in Chale Green
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are parts of the system left out of past cleans and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a village or hamlet like Chale Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

TR19 inspection in Chale Green: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Chale Green. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Kitchens in Chale Green get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Chale Green falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. James' Church or anywhere around Chale Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Wolverton Manor, about 2.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Chale Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Why act early in Chale Green
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Chale Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Chale Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

What we are called out for in Chale Green
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 3.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Questions from Chale Green
Will you come out to Chale Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Chale Green?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Chale Green gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
