TR19 inspection in Lovedean, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Lovedean, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Lovedean
Can a school canteen extract in Lovedean be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lovedean. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lovedean?
Lovedean is in the area of 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.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will plan it.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What we are called out for in Lovedean
Grease is 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like Woodcroft Primary for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lovedean
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it 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 Lovedean.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
