TR19 inspection in Sleaford, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Sleaford starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Sleaford.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

TR19 inspection around Sleaford
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Sleaford, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Sleaford get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Sleaford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 2.1 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Sleaford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mill Chase Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Sleaford
Is Sleaford within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sleaford is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sleaford?
Sleaford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What’s 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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sleaford
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sleaford
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sleaford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fully insured
- A written report with photos after each visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
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.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
