Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Whitsbury
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection in Whitsbury, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing access panels found on survey.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Whitsbury
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Whitsbury (Breamore House is about 1.6 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
Whitsbury questions
Can you come to Whitsbury after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Whitsbury can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Whitsbury?
Fire safety enforcement in Whitsbury is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Whitsbury
Whitsbury is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Whitsbury are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Whitsbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Whitsbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Whitsbury knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Whitsbury is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
