TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sandleheath
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. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can help, from access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Sandleheath, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Sandleheath?
Grease in a duct is flammable 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
For schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed

What affects the quote in Sandleheath
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
If you need TR19 inspection in Sandleheath, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why act early in Sandleheath
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. If the system at a site near Sandleheath fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Sandleheath
Do you work overnight in Sandleheath?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Sandleheath does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sandleheath?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sandleheath. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll plan it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Sandleheath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Grease, kitchens and Sandleheath
Look up Sandleheath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Sandleheath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Sandleheath. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sandleheath 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 3.1 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Sandleheath Uniting Church, or anywhere in Sandleheath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
