What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a town like Ryde, we usually work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ryde
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Around a town like Ryde, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ryde
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Questions from Ryde
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ryde?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ryde. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Ryde?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ryde than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Grease, kitchens and Ryde
Sea air reaches Ryde, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 28 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels and B&Bs across Ryde and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Ryde sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Ryde, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Dover Park Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172

What affects the quote in Ryde
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Common problems we fix in Ryde
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
A kitchen near Ryde St Johns Road station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
