TR19 inspection in Mead End
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Work in a small place like Mead End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we are called out for in Mead End
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
A kitchen near Sway station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What insurance they carry

Mead End questions
Can school kitchens in Mead End be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Mead End. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Mead End?
Kitchens in Mead End are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Mead End kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Mead End, 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mead End. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Mead End 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 Mead End is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.8 miles east.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and 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. Visits to a village like Mead End are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
