TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hardley
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you are dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Hardley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Hardley
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hardley. 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 data shows about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hardley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Hardley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The New Forest Academy or anywhere near Hardley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Hardley, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 2.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Hardley that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hardley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hardley
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hardley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Hardley?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal South Hants Hospital (about 5.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Hardley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Hardley
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Hardley questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hardley?
In Hardley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Hardley?
Fire safety enforcement in Hardley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you cover Hardley?
Yes. Hardley is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
