Do you need TR19 inspection in Hatchet Green?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote

TR19 inspection in Hatchet Green, done properly
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Common call-outs are for systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
In a small place like Hatchet Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.

What else we do in Hatchet Green
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hatchet Green and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

TR19 inspection in Hatchet Green: the local picture
Hatchet Green is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Hatchet Green 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Hale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Hatchet Green, such as Breamore House about 2.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
