What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
TR19 inspection in Mullenspond, done properly
Before any clean in Mullenspond, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you’re dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Mullenspond, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in Mullenspond
Do you work in villages like Mullenspond?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mullenspond is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Mullenspond?
Mullenspond is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mullenspond.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Mullenspond a current picture. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mullenspond now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Kitchen extracts in Mullenspond
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mullenspond. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Mullenspond is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Mullenspond, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 3.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common problems we fix in Mullenspond
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Mullenspond, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
