How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in North Charford
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
For a kitchen in or near North Charford, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Somewhere as small as North Charford, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.

What else we do in North Charford
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Grease, kitchens and North Charford
In North Charford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers North Charford. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hale Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Salisbury District Hospital is the nearest hospital to North Charford, about 5.8 miles north-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in North Charford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
North Charford: your questions answered
Which fire service covers North Charford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in North Charford outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in North Charford keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is North Charford in your area?
Yes. North Charford is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
