TR19 inspection in Lymington, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Lymington and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and extracts that have never been grease tested, on insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a town like Lymington, most of the kitchen extracts we are asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Lymington
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lymington
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Questions from Lymington
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Lymington?
It can. Lymington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which fire authority looks after Lymington?
Lymington is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
TR19 inspection in Lymington: the local picture
Lymington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 42 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lymington. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. The fire and rescue service for Lymington is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lymington is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 0.9 miles north. A kitchen near Lymington Town station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Common problems we fix in Lymington
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lymington Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In Lymington, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- 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 someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
