TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lyndhurst
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
For a smaller kitchen near Lyndhurst, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Lyndhurst
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lyndhurst during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Lyndhurst, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lyndhurst?
Kitchens in Lyndhurst are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us when your site near Lyndhurst is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we are called out for in Lyndhurst
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ashurst Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lyndhurst, about 2.6 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

TR19 inspection around Lyndhurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs in and around Lyndhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Lyndhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Lyndhurst sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Our Lady and St Edward, or anywhere in Lyndhurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School or anywhere near Lyndhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
