FAQs for Luccombe Village
Will you come out to Luccombe Village?
Yes, Luccombe Village is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Luccombe Village?
It can. Luccombe Village is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Luccombe Village
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you’re dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection in Luccombe Village: the local picture
Luccombe Village is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 51 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Luccombe Village. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Luccombe Village is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Blasius Church or anywhere around Luccombe Village, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Luccombe Village
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Luccombe Village
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Luccombe Village before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
