TR19 inspection around Neatham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars in Neatham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Neatham get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Neatham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Neatham is Alton Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 4.8 miles west), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Rood Church or anywhere around Neatham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

TR19 inspection in Neatham
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Neatham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Why act early in Neatham
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Planning a trip to Neatham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit 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 Neatham 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
What affects the quote in Neatham
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
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 you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need TR19 inspection in Neatham, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Neatham questions
Which fire service covers Neatham?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Neatham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Neatham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Neatham needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
