TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lyde Green
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Work in a small place like Lyde Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Lyde Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 will go through it with you.

Lyde Green questions
Can you come to Lyde Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Lyde Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lyde Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Lyde Green are carried out by Hart council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
TR19 inspection around Lyde Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lyde Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Lyde Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Lyde Green sits within the area of 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Lyde Green, such as Stratfield Saye House about 2.8 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Rotherwick Church, or anywhere in Lyde Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lyde Green before we set off.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
