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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
TR19 inspection in Gosport, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Gosport and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as Gosport, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Gosport
Can the work in Gosport be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Gosport does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Gosport?
Kitchens in Gosport are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Gosport and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Gosport, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

TR19 inspection around Gosport
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Gosport. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Gosport. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Gosport falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ampfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Gosport, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Gosport?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
