Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Pilley
We cover Pilley for TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Pilley
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 pictures, for sites in Pilley and the rest of Hampshire. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Pilley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Pilley
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pilley
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Pilley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Pilley
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Somewhere as small as Pilley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Kitchen extracts in Pilley
Sea air reaches Pilley, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pilley. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pilley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Nicholas Chapel or elsewhere in Pilley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Pilley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Pilley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO41, we can take on TR19 inspection. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (11 miles or so).

Pilley questions
Which fire authority looks after Pilley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Pilley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pilley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Pilley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
