How we handle TR19 inspection in Purbrook
Before any clean in Purbrook, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Around a town like Purbrook, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Purbrook
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in Purbrook, it helps to have up-to-date records.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common questions in Purbrook
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Purbrook in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Purbrook, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Purbrook?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Purbrook than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, 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 do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Purbrook.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

TR19 inspection in Purbrook: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Purbrook is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Purbrook on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 29 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Purbrook, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Purbrook. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Purbrook Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Purbrook is about 2 miles west of Havant, in Hampshire. For TR19 inspection in and around Purbrook, please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote. We work across South East England and London, including Purbrook. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small.

When to call us in Purbrook
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Where a hall near Church of St John, or anywhere in Purbrook, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
