TR19 inspection in Sandy Balls
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. If you’re dealing with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
In a small place like Sandy Balls, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Sandy Balls?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Sandy Balls shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Sandy Balls: your questions answered
Can you come to Sandy Balls after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Sandy Balls can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Sandy Balls?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sandy Balls. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Sandy Balls kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sandy Balls. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Sandy Balls. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Sandy Balls falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Giles or elsewhere in Sandy Balls, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the quote in Sandy Balls
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need TR19 inspection in Sandy Balls, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sandy Balls and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. In a place like Sandy Balls, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We are fully insured
- Trading since 2009
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
