TR19 inspection in Purbrook Heath, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are confirming a clean reached the whole system and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Purbrook Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Common problems we fix in Purbrook Heath
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Purbrook Heath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Grease, kitchens and Purbrook Heath
At about 2 miles from the coast, Purbrook Heath is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 32 takeaways in Purbrook Heath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Purbrook Heath is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Purbrook Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Purbrook Heath (Warblington Castle is about 4.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. For a village or hamlet like Purbrook Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Purbrook Heath questions
Do you cover smaller places like Purbrook Heath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Purbrook Heath included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Purbrook Heath be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Purbrook Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
