TR19 Inspection in Cranmore
TR19 inspection for Cranmore, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cranmore
Taking on a kitchen in Cranmore with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Cranmore, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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 staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Cranmore: the local picture
Cranmore lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cranmore. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Cranmore is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cranmore, about 5.9 miles north-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Swainston Manor is about 3.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Cranmore, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover 125 places, and Cranmore is one of them. We also work in Southampton, around 14 miles away.
We cover every part of PO41 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. We cover sites on Solent Road, East Close and Cranmore Avenue and the roads around them. Other places close to Cranmore include Hamstead (1 mile north-east), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (1 mile west), Yarmouth (2 miles west) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles south-east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). If your site is somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.
What’s near Cranmore
Cranmore’s nearest station is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.9 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (2.6 miles south-east) and Yarmouth Castle (2.4 miles west). Open spaces near Cranmore include Boldre Foreshore and Compton Down.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cranmore.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Cranmore: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Cranmore out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Cranmore, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cranmore?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Cranmore. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
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, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Do you work in Cranmore?
Yes. We cover Cranmore and the rest of the Isle of Wight, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
