What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

About our TR19 inspection in Emery Down
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the 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, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.

TR19 inspection in Emery Down: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs registered across Emery Down and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Emery Down falls to 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. In Emery Down, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Ashurst Hospital, about 3.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Emery Down.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Emery Down
Which environmental health team covers Emery Down?
Kitchens in Emery Down are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Emery Down?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Common problems we fix in Emery Down
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Emery Down, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
