TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bassett Green
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Around a smaller place like Bassett Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Bassett Green
Which fire service covers Bassett Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Bassett Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Bassett Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bassett Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Never cook with filters missing
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

TR19 inspection in Bassett Green: the local picture
Sea air reaches Bassett Green, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Bassett Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 105 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bassett Green. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Bassett Green get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bassett Green Primary School or anywhere near Bassett Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal South Hants Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bassett Green, about 1.9 miles south.

- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bassett Green?
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Commuter trade near Swaythling station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
