TR19 inspections and grease testing in Newchurch, Isle of Wight
TR19 inspection for Newchurch, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
TR19 inspection in Newchurch, done properly
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Newchurch, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
Why it’s worth doing now in Newchurch
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Newchurch, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Newchurch questions
Which fire service covers Newchurch?
Fire safety enforcement in Newchurch is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Newchurch?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newchurch. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
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 sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Newchurch
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Haseley Manor, about 0.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Newchurch; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Newchurch kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Newchurch. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Newchurch. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Newchurch sits within the area of 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Newchurch, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Newchurch is about 4 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Newchurch gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Newchurch is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 11 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for TR19 inspection: PO36. Whether your site is on High Street, Milestone Crescent and Palmer's Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Newchurch: Winford (1 mile south), Branstone (1 mile south), Hale Common (1 mile south-west), Apse Heath (1 mile south) and Arreton (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (4 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-east), Ventnor (5 miles south) and East Cowes (7 miles north-west). For island and remote sites, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Newchurch is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
