Hillway: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Hillway?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hillway. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Hillway?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hillway keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
TR19 inspection in Hillway
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Hillway and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and extracts that have never been grease tested, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Hillway, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hillway knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hillway now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What affects the quote in Hillway
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
TR19 inspection in Hillway: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Hillway. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hillway. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Hillway. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hillway, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Bembridge Methodist Church or elsewhere in Hillway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 4.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
