Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Forestside, Hampshire
TR19 inspection across Forestside and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Forestside
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Forestside, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Forestside: your questions answered
Is Forestside within the area you cover?
Yes, Forestside is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Forestside?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Forestside keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere like Forestside, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Forestside kitchens: local notes
We cover Forestside, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Forestside get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Forestside, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Forestside, about 5 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 3.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
