- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
How we handle TR19 inspection in Portmore
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can help, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Portmore, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Leave it or put it right?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. In a place like Portmore, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Portmore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Portmore kitchens: local notes
Portmore is within about 1 mile 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 includes about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses across Portmore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Portmore. 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 that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Portmore, about 1 mile south-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Southlands School or anywhere near Portmore, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
When to call us in Portmore
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Nicholas Chapel or elsewhere in Portmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Portmore
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Portmore?
It can, as Portmore is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Will you come out to Portmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. 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 grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
