What TR19 inspection looks like in Gurnard
At about 1 mile from the coast, Gurnard 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. The Food Standards Agency lists about 28 pubs and bars and about 12 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Gurnard. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Gurnard falls to 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.
Historic houses near Gurnard, such as Osborne House about 2.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Gurnard Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Gurnard
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Work in a small place like Gurnard starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Gurnard, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Gurnard: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Gurnard?
Food hygiene inspections in Gurnard are carried out by Isle of Wight council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Gurnard out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Gurnard. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you work in Gurnard?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Gurnard included.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. With notice, the visit to Gurnard can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
When to call us in Gurnard
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 3.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
