How we handle TR19 inspection in Holbury
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Holbury and the rest of Hampshire. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and uncertainty over how often to clean.
Kitchens around a place like Holbury are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Holbury
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Holbury at a time that suits you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection around Holbury
The coast is only about 2 miles from Holbury. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways in and around Holbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Holbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Coldeast, about 5.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cadland Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
FAQs for Holbury
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Holbury?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Holbury than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you get to a site in Holbury?
Yes, Holbury is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Holbury?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Holbury, not ours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
When to call us in Holbury
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Holbury shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
