TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lymore
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits.
For a kitchen in or near Lymore, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
How the visit works
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. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lymore.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Lymore questions
Which fire service covers Lymore?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lymore. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Lymore in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lymore. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Lymore?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. If the system at a site near Lymore fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Grease, kitchens and Lymore
At about 1 mile from the coast, Lymore is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Lymore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lymore. 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, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 2.9 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lymore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Lymore is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Lymore, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Lymore is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 15 miles from Lymore.
TR19 inspection in SO41 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. TR19 inspection is available to premises on Lymore Valley, Lymore Lane and School Lane and nearby roads. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Everton (1 mile north), Milford on Sea (1 mile south-west), Keyhaven (1 mile south-east), Lower Pennington (1 mile east) and Pennington (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (4 miles west), Ringwood (12 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (4 miles west).
What’s near Lymore
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Priestlands School and The Crown Public House. The nearest railway station is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.7 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles north-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.4 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Milford on Sea LNR.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
