How we handle TR19 inspection in North Hayling
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. We’re often asked to deal with systems that need surveying before cleaning and missing access panels found on survey, on access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as North Hayling, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
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
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Questions from North Hayling
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like North Hayling?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in North Hayling than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Hayling?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
North Hayling kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from North Hayling. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central North Hayling. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Fire safety in North Hayling falls to 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.
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 1.5 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. From the centre of North Hayling to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Do you need TR19 inspection in North Hayling?
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around North Hayling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
