About our TR19 inspection in Chandler's Ford
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Many kitchens in a town like Chandler's Ford were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. The sooner the work is done, the simpler the job for a site in Chandler's Ford.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Grease, kitchens and Chandler's Ford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 33 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways in Chandler's Ford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Chandler's Ford is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Chandler's Ford are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a café or takeaway near Chandlers Ford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Chandler's Ford is Princess Anne Hospital, about 4 miles south-west. For schools such as Chandler's Ford Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
What affects the quote in Chandler's Ford
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Before the visit, a few photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Chandler's Ford.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
