TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lindford
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, across deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Lindford gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lindford
If a kitchen in Lindford has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Booking now means the visit to Lindford is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

When to call us in Lindford
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Weyford Nursery and Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of insurance
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lindford
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Around Lindford, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
TR19 inspection in Lindford: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Lindford. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Lindford 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lindford. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos 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 Chase Community Hospital about 1.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lindford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lindford
Can the work in Lindford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Lindford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Lindford be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Lindford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
