Beaulieu TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Beaulieu and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Beaulieu
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Beaulieu and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Beaulieu 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Beaulieu are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Beaulieu
At about 3 miles from the coast, Beaulieu is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Beaulieu. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Beaulieu are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, or anywhere in Beaulieu, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Beaulieu is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Beaulieu gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Beaulieu is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for TR19 inspection. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.

Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in Beaulieu has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Somewhere as small as Beaulieu, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What else we do in Beaulieu
What affects the quote in Beaulieu
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Beaulieu
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 0.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Beaulieu questions
Can school kitchens in Beaulieu be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Beaulieu. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Beaulieu?
Food hygiene inspections in Beaulieu are carried out by New Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Beaulieu?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
