When to call us in Coxford
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 2.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
How we handle TR19 inspection in Coxford
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Common call-outs are for surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
Around a smaller place like Coxford, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Coxford
The coast is only about 2 miles from Coxford. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 63 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 46 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Coxford, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Coxford get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shirley Warren Primary & Nursery School or anywhere near Coxford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Jude's Church, or anywhere in Coxford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Other services in Coxford
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Coxford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
If you need TR19 inspection in Coxford, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Around Coxford, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Common questions in Coxford
Which fire service covers Coxford?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Coxford. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Coxford?
It can, as Coxford is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
