About our TR19 inspection in Dumpford
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Dumpford and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Dumpford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Dumpford
Is Dumpford within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Dumpford is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Dumpford?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dumpford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Other services in Dumpford
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Dumpford a current picture. In a small place like Dumpford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection in Dumpford: the local picture
It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dumpford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Dumpford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dumpford, about 3.6 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George's Church or elsewhere in Dumpford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Dumpford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Dumpford?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dumpford (Cowdray House is about 3.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
