Foulford TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Foulford and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Foulford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

TR19 inspection in Foulford
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing access panels found on survey, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Why act early in Foulford
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a place like Foulford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Foulford kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Foulford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Foulford. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Foulford get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Baptist or anywhere around Foulford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Ringwood School Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 5.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Foulford
Do you cover smaller places like Foulford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Foulford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Foulford during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Foulford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.

At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
