TR19 inspections in Ellingham
TR19 inspection across Ellingham and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean

TR19 inspection in Ellingham, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Ellingham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Ellingham, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Ellingham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease, kitchens and Ellingham
Kitchens in Ellingham get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Ellingham sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ellingham is St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Ellingham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ringwood School Academy or anywhere near Ellingham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Ellingham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

FAQs for Ellingham
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Ellingham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Ellingham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Ellingham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Ellingham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Why act early in Ellingham
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Planning a trip to Ellingham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
