TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Alverstone Garden Village
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you’re dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can help.
In a small place like Alverstone Garden Village, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

TR19 inspection around Alverstone Garden Village
Alverstone Garden Village is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Alverstone Garden Village. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Alverstone Garden Village. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Alverstone Garden Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Alverstone Garden Village knowing what to expect.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Alverstone Garden Village questions
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Alverstone Garden Village?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Alverstone Garden Village gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Will you come out to Alverstone Garden Village?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Alverstone Garden Village is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What affects the quote in Alverstone Garden Village
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Alverstone Garden Village and across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

When to call us in Alverstone Garden Village
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Alverstone Garden Village, about 2.1 miles south.
