Questions from Fishbourne
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fishbourne?
The local authority for Fishbourne is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Fishbourne?
Fire safety enforcement in Fishbourne is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Fishbourne?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
TR19 inspection in Fishbourne
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you’re dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Fishbourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fishbourne kitchens: local notes
Fishbourne lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Fishbourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Fishbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Edmund's Church, or anywhere in Fishbourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wootton Community Primary School or anywhere near Fishbourne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO33, we can take on TR19 inspection. Fishbourne is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight where we work for TR19 inspection. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby (8 miles or so).
Postcode districts we cover here for TR19 inspection: PO33. That includes premises on Kite Hill, Ashlake Farm Lane and Ashlake Copse Road and the roads around them.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Fishbourne
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Fishbourne shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fishbourne is St Mary's Hospital, about 3.9 miles west.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. A planned visit to Fishbourne is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix

- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Fishbourne
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fishbourne
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fishbourne.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
