Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
TR19 inspection in Rockbourne
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like Rockbourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Rockbourne?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
For schools such as Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Rockbourne questions
Do you work overnight in Rockbourne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Rockbourne keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Rockbourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Rockbourne are carried out by New Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Rockbourne run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting 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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection in Rockbourne: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Rockbourne. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rockbourne. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Rockbourne falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Rockbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rockbourne is Salisbury District Hospital, about 6 miles north.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
