How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted

How we handle TR19 inspection in Hillstreet
A fixed schedule doesn’t 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 are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hillstreet, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hillstreet questions
Is Hillstreet within the area you cover?
Yes, Hillstreet is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hillstreet?
In Hillstreet, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hillstreet run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hillstreet
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

- We’re fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Common problems we fix in Hillstreet
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Anne's or elsewhere in Hillstreet, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hillstreet
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Hillstreet
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hillstreet 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. Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hillstreet. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Hillstreet are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Calmore Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
