What affects the quote in Boldre
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Boldre
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
In a small place like Boldre, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Boldre
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boldre?
In Boldre, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Boldre?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Boldre gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Do you cover Boldre?
Yes. Our technicians work in Boldre, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
TR19 inspection in Boldre: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Boldre is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Boldre, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. In Boldre, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 0.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Boldre is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of Boldre to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Southampton is in our area too, about 12 miles from Boldre.
TR19 inspection in SO41 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need TR19 inspection at premises on Tweed Lane, Boldre Lane and Rope Hill or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Boldre, we cover Warborne (1 mile south-east), Battramsley (1 mile north-west), Pilley (1 mile east), Sandy Down (1 mile north-west) and Mount Pleasant (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Totton (10 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles north-east), Romsey (15 miles north), Hythe (9 miles north-east), New Milton (5 miles west) and Ringwood (11 miles north-west).
What’s near Boldre
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Southlands School, The Red Lion Inn and Priestlands School. For rail, the closest station is Lymington Town station, roughly 1.5 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (1.5 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (0.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Boldre Foreshore.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Boldre
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Boldre shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Nicholas Chapel or elsewhere in Boldre, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Boldre can be planned properly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
