How we handle TR19 inspection in Liss Forest
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and sites with gaps in their extract records, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Liss Forest, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Liss Forest.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
What affects the quote in Liss Forest
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Never cook with filters missing
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection in Liss Forest: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered across Liss Forest 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. Liss Forest 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Liss Forest. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Liss Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Liss station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Common questions in Liss Forest
Do you work overnight in Liss Forest?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Liss Forest can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Liss Forest?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Liss Forest?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Liss Forest?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 3.8 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
