How we handle TR19 inspection in New Milton
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Kitchens around a place like New Milton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A site near New Milton typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests

What TR19 inspection looks like in New Milton
Sea air reaches New Milton, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 takeaways across New Milton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. New Milton is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 5.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Magdalene, or anywhere in New Milton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Arnewood School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Questions from New Milton
Which fire authority looks after New Milton?
Fire safety enforcement in New Milton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Will you come out to New Milton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Milton included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
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.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
