About our TR19 inspection in Durford Wood
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Durford Wood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Durford Wood
If a kitchen in Durford Wood has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Durford Wood
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Durford Wood
Which council inspects kitchens in Durford Wood?
Kitchens in Durford Wood are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Durford Wood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Durford Wood keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What is post-clean verification?
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.

Kitchen extracts in Durford Wood
Look up Durford Wood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Durford Wood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Durford Wood are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

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.

Related advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Durford Wood
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Durford Wood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
