TR19 inspections in Old Netley
TR19 inspection across Old Netley and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Old Netley
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Old Netley and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. We are often asked to deal with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Old Netley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Old Netley run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Old Netley
The coast is only about 2 miles from Old Netley. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 23 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Old Netley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Old Netley is covered by 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Old Netley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Paul’s Church, or anywhere in Old Netley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Old Netley: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Old Netley out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Old Netley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Old Netley?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What else we do in Old Netley
What happens if it’s left?

Why us?
- Every job surveyed first

Do you need TR19 inspection in Old Netley?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Coldeast, about 2.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
