TR19 inspection in East End: the local picture
Sea air reaches East End, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East End. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers East End. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as South Baddesley Church of England Primary School or anywhere near East End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 2.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
East End is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. East End gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, East End among them. We also work in Southampton, around 11 miles away.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East End
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in East End and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you are dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can put it right, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
In a small place like East End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Insurer audits

Why act early in East End
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to East End is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Diary the next grease test and clean
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in East End
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East End?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in East End?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in East End keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
