Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Matchams TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Matchams. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
TR19 inspection in Matchams
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Matchams, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Matchams rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Each visit written up, with photos
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For TR19 inspection in Matchams, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Matchams kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Matchams falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Matchams, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Matchams; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 1.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from Matchams
Is Matchams within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Matchams is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Matchams?
That is 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.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Matchams can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
