About our TR19 inspection in Bashley
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 are on. If you have ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Work in a small place like Bashley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys

- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
When to call us in Bashley
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ballard School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Questions from Bashley
Which fire authority looks after Bashley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bashley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bashley?
Kitchens in Bashley are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What else we do in Bashley
Grease, kitchens and Bashley
Bashley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bashley. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bashley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John or elsewhere in Bashley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bashley is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5 miles east.
Bashley is in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Bashley or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Southampton is in our area too, around 15 miles away.
All of BH25 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. TR19 inspection is available to premises on St Johns Road, Ossemsley South Drive and Bashley Road and nearby roads. Close by, we work in Ossemsley (1 mile north-west), Wootton (1 mile north-west), Ashley (1 mile south-east), Tiptoe (1 mile east) and Mead End (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (5 miles east), Hythe (13 miles north-east), Ringwood (7 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (12 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).
Around Bashley
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Arnewood School, The Rising Sun pub and Tiptoe Primary School. The nearest railway station is New Milton station, roughly 1.3 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Lymington New Forest Hospital (5 miles east) and Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (0.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Milford on Sea LNR.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bashley
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. 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 job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Bashley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
