How we handle TR19 inspection in Fordingbridge
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. We are often asked to deal with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Fordingbridge gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fordingbridge kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fordingbridge. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fordingbridge sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Fordingbridge are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Fordingbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School or anywhere near Fordingbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Fordingbridge is in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Fordingbridge, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (17 miles or so).

The countryside around Fordingbridge includes Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.

FAQs for Fordingbridge
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Fordingbridge out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Fordingbridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Fordingbridge outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Fordingbridge can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you work in Fordingbridge?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Fordingbridge.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Fordingbridge can typically be finished without a second trip.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Fordingbridge
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey

No two sites are the same, 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.

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
