About our TR19 inspection in Bridgemary
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. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, across wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Kitchens around a place like Bridgemary are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading isn’t affected.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Bridgemary
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's or elsewhere in Bridgemary, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a place like Bridgemary, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. A site near Bridgemary that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

TR19 inspection in Bridgemary: the local picture
Bridgemary lies within about 2 miles of the sea. 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 data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Bridgemary. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Bridgemary falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bridgemary is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rowner Junior, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Bridgemary: your questions answered
Does the sea air around Bridgemary make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can, as Bridgemary is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Is Bridgemary within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bridgemary included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
