How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ibsley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Ibsley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leave it or put it right?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ibsley affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ibsley, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Ibsley
Which fire service covers Ibsley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ibsley. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ibsley?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ibsley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Ibsley kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Ibsley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Ibsley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 5.6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Martins, or anywhere in Ibsley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
