About our TR19 inspection in Curdridge
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Curdridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common problems we fix in Curdridge
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Curdridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Curdridge
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
TR19 inspection around Curdridge
Look up Curdridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Curdridge. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Curdridge 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. Food hygiene inspections in Curdridge are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For kitchens close to Botley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Curdridge is about 3 miles east of Hedge End, in Hampshire.

Why act early in Curdridge
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Curdridge questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Curdridge?
Curdridge is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Curdridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Curdridge, let us know and we’ll plan around 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
