TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Havenstreet
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 gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Havenstreet knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When to call us in Havenstreet
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ryde Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
Why act early in Havenstreet
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat

TR19 inspection in Havenstreet: the local picture
Havenstreet lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Havenstreet. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Havenstreet. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Peter's Church or anywhere around Havenstreet, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 4.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Havenstreet is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Havenstreet gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 9 miles from Havenstreet.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are 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 you book.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Havenstreet
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Havenstreet?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Havenstreet. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Havenstreet?
It can. Salt air reaches Havenstreet, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
