Cadnam kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars in Cadnam and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Cadnam is 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 Cadnam get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 2.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Cadnam, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Cadnam is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Cadnam gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Cadnam is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby, about 8 miles away.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Cadnam
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cadnam, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Cadnam questions
Which fire authority looks after Cadnam?
Cadnam is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Cadnam?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cadnam is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Never cook with filters missing
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cadnam.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Cadnam
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:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.6 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
