About our TR19 inspection in Little Holbury
Before any clean in Little Holbury, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
Work in a small place like Little Holbury starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Little Holbury
The coast is only about 2 miles from Little Holbury. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Little Holbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Little Holbury 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 5.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Manor Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Little Holbury (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.8 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Little Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Little Holbury, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Little Holbury is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Southampton, around 6 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for TR19 inspection: SO45. Whether your site is on Southbourne Avenue, Manor Road and Westbourne Avenue or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work.

Further out, we also cover Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
Near you in Little Holbury
Around Little Holbury, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The New Forest Academy. The nearest railway station is Netley station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (2.9 miles west) and Netley Castle (3.3 miles north). The countryside around Little Holbury includes Mercury Marshes.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Little Holbury and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What else we do in Little Holbury
Questions from Little Holbury
Can you get to a site in Little Holbury?
Yes, Little Holbury is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Little Holbury?
Little Holbury 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 the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. A planned visit to Little Holbury is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Little Holbury, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
