Signs you need TR19 inspection in North Baddesley
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in North Baddesley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
About our TR19 inspection in North Baddesley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys onwards.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Kitchen extracts in North Baddesley
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central North Baddesley. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. North Baddesley 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in North Baddesley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as North Baddesley Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 1.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a place like North Baddesley, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in North Baddesley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from North Baddesley
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Baddesley?
Fire safety enforcement in North Baddesley 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.
Can you work in North Baddesley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in North Baddesley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Baddesley
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
