TR19 inspections in Landport
TR19 inspection in Landport from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Landport
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys.
For a smaller kitchen near Landport, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.

Kitchen extracts in Landport
The coast is only about 1 mile from Landport. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Landport on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 261 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 138 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Landport. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Landport. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Landport, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around Portsmouth & Southsea station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Common questions in Landport
Which fire service covers Landport?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Landport. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Landport?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Landport included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Landport?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like Ark Dickens Primary Academy for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Why deal with it now?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a smaller place like Landport, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- 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.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
