TR19 inspection in Ropley, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Ropley with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are sections of duct that can’t be reached and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
For a kitchen in or near Ropley, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Ropley
Do you work at weekends in Ropley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Ropley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ropley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Common problems we fix in Ropley
Grease is 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ropley, about 5.6 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What affects the quote in Ropley
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What we do, step by step
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 a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a village or hamlet like Ropley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a small place like Ropley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Ropley
We cover Ropley, about 51 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ropley. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Ropley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ropley (Hinton Ampner House is about 4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
