TR19 inspection in Palestine
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Palestine and the rest of Hampshire. If you are dealing with parts of the system left out of past cleans and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Palestine, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Palestine rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it

What we do, step by step
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Palestine and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Kitchen extracts in Palestine
Palestine 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. Kitchens in Palestine get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Idmiston Manor is about 4.7 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Leonard or anywhere around Palestine, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Palestine is in Hampshire. From the centre of Palestine to the outskirts, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

What else we do in Palestine
Palestine questions
Can you come to Palestine after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Palestine keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Palestine?
The local authority for Palestine is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is Palestine in your area?
Yes. We cover Palestine and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Palestine?
Grease in a duct is flammable 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. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Checking the result of a recent clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Grateley Primary School or anywhere near Palestine, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
