TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Privett
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Kitchens around a place like Privett are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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 morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Privett when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What else we do in Privett
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Questions from Privett
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Privett?
Fire safety enforcement in Privett is handled by 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 sea air affect TR19 inspection in Privett?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Privett than inland. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extracts in Privett
At about 1 mile from the coast, Privett is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 31 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Privett. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Privett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gosport council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St Faith's Church, or anywhere in Privett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Gomer Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Privett is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 0.6 miles east.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Privett
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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.
Why deal with it now?
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. A site near Privett that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
