About our TR19 inspection in Dibden Purlieu
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you’re dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Dibden Purlieu are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Dibden Purlieu
Dibden Purlieu is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 17 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways across Dibden Purlieu and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Dibden Purlieu. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wildground Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital, about 4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Andrew's Church and Centre, or anywhere in Dibden Purlieu, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. For a place like Dibden Purlieu, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
