How we handle TR19 inspection in Welborne
Taking on a kitchen in Welborne with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Welborne
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
FAQs for Welborne
Do you work in villages like Welborne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Welborne included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Welborne?
It can. Welborne is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Welborne?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A planned visit to Welborne is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Welborne can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Grease, kitchens and Welborne
Sea air reaches Welborne, which sits within about 3 miles 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. There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Welborne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Welborne sits within the area of 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Welborne, about 0.5 miles west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Welborne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Welborne is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Welborne gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Welborne is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 7 miles away.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Welborne?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for any of the following:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Henry Cort Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
