TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Godshill
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for uncertainty over how often to clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Godshill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Godshill
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Godshill?
Kitchens in Godshill are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Godshill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Godshill can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Is Godshill in your area?
Yes. We cover Godshill and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What we are called out for in Godshill
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles or elsewhere in Godshill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Godshill is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Grease, kitchens and Godshill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Godshill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Godshill get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Godshill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Breamore House, about 2.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Godshill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
