TR19 Inspection in Monkwood
TR19 inspection across Monkwood and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence

- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
About our TR19 inspection in Monkwood
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We’re often asked to deal with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Monkwood, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Monkwood can be planned properly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Monkwood questions
Can the work in Monkwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Monkwood keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Monkwood?
Monkwood is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
How much notice do you need?
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.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Monkwood kitchens: local notes
In Monkwood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. 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. Monkwood 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Monkwood Mission Church or elsewhere in Monkwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Monkwood is Alton Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles north-east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Monkwood (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.8 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Monkwood is about 6 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Monkwood gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Monkwood is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 18 miles away.
Work in SO24 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Hill Farm Road, Flint Fields and Soame's Lane and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out TR19 inspection in Charlwood (1 mile north-east), West Tisted (1 mile south-west), Gilbert Street (1 mile north-west), Kitwood (2 miles north) and Ropley (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (14 miles north), Winchester (12 miles west), Havant (15 miles south), Eastleigh (15 miles south-west), Horndean (11 miles south) and Alton (6 miles north-east).

Why act early in Monkwood
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Monkwood now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
