TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Blashford
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can help, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need TR19 inspection in Blashford, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Why act early in Blashford
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A planned visit to Blashford is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common questions in Blashford
Can you work in Blashford outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Blashford keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Blashford?
Kitchens in Blashford are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Blashford in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Blashford, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Blashford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Blashford
Food Standards Agency records list about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Blashford. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Blashford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Blashford get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blashford, about 4.5 miles south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or anywhere around Blashford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 4.7 miles south-east), access may need planning.
