Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
About our TR19 inspection in Easton
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Easton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Easton
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When to call us in Easton
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 4.2 miles east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

Easton: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Easton?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Easton. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Easton during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Easton. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work in Easton?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Easton included.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Easton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Easton kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Easton is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways across Easton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Easton is covered by 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Agnes' Church, or anywhere in Easton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Easton, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
