Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Bull Hill, Hampshire
TR19 inspection for Bull Hill, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection in Bull Hill
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Bull Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bull Hill?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west), 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:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bull Hill.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Bull Hill kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Bull Hill, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. 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 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Bull Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Bull Hill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Nicholas Chapel or anywhere around Bull Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why act early in Bull Hill

Bull Hill: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Bull Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Bull Hill?
It can. Salt air reaches Bull Hill, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
