TR19 Inspection in Broadgate
TR19 inspection for Broadgate, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
TR19 inspection in Broadgate
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. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Broadgate and the rest of Hampshire. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Broadgate, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Broadgate questions
Do you work in villages like Broadgate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broadgate?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What we are called out for in Broadgate
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a small place like Broadgate, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadgate
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.

Kitchen extracts in Broadgate
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Broadgate, 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Broadgate. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Broadgate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.9 miles south), access may need planning. For schools such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
