What we’re called out for in Mount Pleasant
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mount Pleasant, about 1.4 miles south-east.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Mount Pleasant
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and missing access panels found on survey.
For a kitchen in or near Mount Pleasant, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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. Leave those to us.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Mount Pleasant
Will you come out to Mount Pleasant?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mount Pleasant is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Mount Pleasant during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Mount Pleasant. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

Mount Pleasant kitchens: local notes
Mount Pleasant is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Mount Pleasant and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Mount Pleasant is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Priestlands School or anywhere near Mount Pleasant, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Mount Pleasant, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
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. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
