How we handle TR19 inspection in Newfound
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We’re often asked to deal with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Newfound 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease, kitchens and Newfound
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newfound. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Newfound. 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. Food hygiene inspections in Newfound are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's, or anywhere in Newfound, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Park Prewett Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newfound (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. 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 isn’t left building in hidden parts.

Related advice
Common questions in Newfound
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newfound?
The local authority for Newfound is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newfound?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Newfound. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newfound
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. If the system at a site near Newfound fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
