TR19 inspection in Gosport
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures 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 deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Many kitchens in a town like Gosport were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct can’t be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Gosport.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Gosport questions
Which environmental health team covers Gosport?
That is Gosport council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Gosport. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Gosport outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Gosport does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work in Gosport?
Yes. Gosport is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Gosport and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Kitchen extracts in Gosport
Sea air reaches Gosport, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 37 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Gosport and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Gosport are the job of Gosport council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 0.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Brockhurst Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work

Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person

Common problems we fix in Gosport
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Faith's Church or anywhere around Gosport, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
