TR19 inspection in Foreland Fields
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We are often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and missing TR19 certificates or history, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as Foreland Fields, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

FAQs for Foreland Fields
Do you cover smaller places like Foreland Fields?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Foreland Fields?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Foreland Fields gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Foreland Fields?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
TR19 inspection around Foreland Fields
Foreland Fields lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Foreland Fields and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Foreland Fields. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Foreland Fields, about 5.6 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Yaverland Manor is about 2.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Foreland Fields is about 4 miles north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Foreland Fields
Sites in Foreland Fields that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. A planned visit to Foreland Fields is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Foreland Fields are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
