Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Hale Common
Taking on a kitchen in Hale Common with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hale Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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 we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Hale Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Hale Common
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hale Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hale Common. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hale Common. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Haseley Manor is about 0.9 miles north), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Hale Common, about 2.4 miles south-east.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For TR19 inspection in Hale Common, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Hale Common questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hale Common?
Fire safety enforcement in Hale Common is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Hale Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Hale Common can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A planned visit to Hale Common is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
