TR19 inspection in Horseport, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and checking the result of a recent clean.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Horseport rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What affects the quote in Horseport
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For TR19 inspection in Horseport, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Horseport, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Horseport: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Horseport?
Yes. Horseport is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Horseport?
Food hygiene inspections in Horseport are carried out by New Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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 are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
When to call us in Horseport
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Horseport, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Grease, kitchens and Horseport
Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops across Horseport and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Horseport is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Horseport, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Horseport, such as Breamore House about 3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordingbridge Infant School or anywhere near Horseport, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
