Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in South Warnborough
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in South Warnborough
Before any clean in South Warnborough, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like South Warnborough starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like South Warnborough, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys

A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in South Warnborough, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why act early in South Warnborough
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

FAQs for South Warnborough
Which environmental health team covers South Warnborough?
Kitchens in South Warnborough are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for South Warnborough?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Warnborough. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
When to call us in South Warnborough
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
School kitchens, at schools like Robert May's School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
