How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

How we handle TR19 inspection in Fareham Common
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Fareham Common, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Fareham Common.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Fareham Common
Fareham Common 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. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Fareham Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Fareham Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Fareham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wykeham House School or anywhere near Fareham Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Fareham Common
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Fareham Common?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Fareham Common gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Is Fareham Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Fareham Common is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fareham Common
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
