Leigh Park questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Leigh Park?
Leigh Park is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can school kitchens in Leigh Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Leigh Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
What do the grease readings need to be?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Leigh Park
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Leigh Park and the rest of Hampshire. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Leigh Park gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Leigh Park
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Historic houses near Leigh Park, such as Warblington Castle about 1.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Leigh Park.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Diary the next grease test and clean
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Grease, kitchens and Leigh Park
Sea air reaches Leigh Park, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 18 pubs and bars registered across Leigh Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Leigh Park 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Riders Infant School or anywhere near Leigh Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 1 mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Leigh Park is about 1 mile north of Havant, in Hampshire.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
