About our TR19 inspection in Newtown
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Newtown and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and missing TR19 certificates or history.
In a small place like Newtown, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Newtown, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Newtown
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Grease, kitchens and Newtown
Newtown is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Newtown. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Newtown. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Spirit Church or elsewhere in Newtown, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newtown (Swainston Manor is about 1.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Newtown is about 4 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

Questions from Newtown
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Newtown?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Newtown gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which council inspects kitchens in Newtown?
Kitchens in Newtown are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Newtown in your area?
Yes. Newtown is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Newtown?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
