What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. We plan the journey to Peartree Green and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

About our TR19 inspection in Peartree Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a smaller place like Peartree Green, 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 cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Peartree Green
The coast is only about 1 mile from Peartree Green. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 87 pubs and bars and about 18 hotels and guest houses across Peartree Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Peartree Green is covered by 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ludlow Infant Academy or anywhere near Peartree Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal South Hants Hospital is the nearest hospital to Peartree Green, about 1 mile north-west.

Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Peartree Green at a time that suits you.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Peartree Green
Who inspects food businesses in Peartree Green?
In Peartree Green, it’s Southampton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Peartree Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 35 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Peartree Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you work in Peartree Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Peartree Green included.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
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.
When to call us in Peartree Green
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near Peartree Green United Reform Church or anywhere around Peartree Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Peartree Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
