What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lee
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
For a kitchen in or near Lee, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Lee, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lee
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lee?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lee. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Lee after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lee can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does grease testing take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What else we do in Lee
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
Grease, kitchens and Lee
Lee is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lee. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Lee falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lee is Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles north. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Boniface or elsewhere in Lee, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Sites in Lee get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Lee is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
