TR19 Inspection in Tye
TR19 inspection in Tye from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings

- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
TR19 inspection in Tye, done properly
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
For a kitchen in or near Tye, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
TR19 inspection in Tye: the local picture
Tye is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 hotels and B&Bs in Tye and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Tye are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Tye, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Mill Rythe Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Tye, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small.

What affects the quote in Tye
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we are called out for in Tye
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tye is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-west.
Before booking anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Tye, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Tye questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Tye in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tye. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tye?
Tye is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Planning a trip to Tye ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
