TR19 inspection in Emsworth
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. 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. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Emsworth, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Emsworth
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Emsworth?
It can, as Emsworth is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Will you come out to Emsworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Emsworth
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Emsworth kitchens: local notes
Emsworth is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Emsworth. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Emsworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Emsworth station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Emsworth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Emsworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Emsworth, not ours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Emsworth
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Even a site near Emsworth that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
