TR19 inspection in Alderholt
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can put it right, from insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
In a smaller place like Alderholt, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Alderholt questions
Who inspects food businesses in Alderholt?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Alderholt. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Alderholt?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Alderholt. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Alderholt
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Alderholt, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
