How we handle TR19 inspection in Red Rice
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures 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 access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
For a kitchen in or near Red Rice, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Red Rice
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Red Rice
Can you work in Red Rice outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Red Rice keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Red Rice?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Red Rice. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Red Rice?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
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.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Red Rice.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

Grease, kitchens and Red Rice
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Red Rice. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Red Rice falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Red Rice. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Redrice School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Red Rice, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Red Rice now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
