TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Curbridge
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Curbridge are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Curbridge
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Curbridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Curbridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Curbridge. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Around Curbridge, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Curbridge, so let us know how to reach it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Questions from Curbridge
Do you work at weekends in Curbridge?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Curbridge can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is Curbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Curbridge is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
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, typically ready within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Curbridge
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Curbridge
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
