About our TR19 inspection in Broad Oak
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a small place like Broad Oak, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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, and we have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Broad Oak
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Broad Oak and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Fire safety in Broad Oak falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Broad Oak get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Broad Oak, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 3.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
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:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need TR19 inspection in Broad Oak, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. In a place like Broad Oak, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Broad Oak
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Broad Oak?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broad Oak. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broad Oak?
In Broad Oak, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What we are called out for in Broad Oak
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
For schools such as Mayhill Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- 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. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Broad Oak can be planned properly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
