TR19 inspections and grease testing in Criddlestyle, Hampshire
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Criddlestyle, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Criddlestyle 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.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we handle TR19 inspection in Criddlestyle
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: 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 are dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Criddlestyle, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Criddlestyle
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
TR19 inspection around Criddlestyle
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Criddlestyle. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Criddlestyle is covered by 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Criddlestyle. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles or elsewhere in Criddlestyle, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 3 miles north), access may need planning.

Criddlestyle questions
Can you get to a site in Criddlestyle?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Criddlestyle is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Criddlestyle?
Kitchens in Criddlestyle are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Criddlestyle?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
School kitchens, at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
