How we handle TR19 inspection in Monxton
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is 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. Common call-outs are for kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and uncertainty over how often to clean, on access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Monxton, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Monxton
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Monxton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Monxton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Monxton. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Amport Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Monxton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Monxton can be planned properly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Monxton

Monxton: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Monxton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Which environmental health team covers Monxton?
Kitchens in Monxton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® isn’t 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 with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
