What the work involves, part by part

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading isn’t affected.
TR19 inspection in Hale
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hale, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Hale
Which council inspects kitchens in Hale?
The local authority for Hale is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after Hale?
Hale is in the area of 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.
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.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What affects the quote in Hale
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hale
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Salisbury District Hospital about 5.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Hale
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hale. 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. Hale is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hale, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Breamore House, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Hale; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
