Common problems we fix in Regents Park
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Western Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Regents Park, about within half a mile north-west.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Regents Park
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are sites with gaps in their extract records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a smaller place like Regents Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Kitchen extracts in Regents Park
The coast is only about 1 mile from Regents Park. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Regents Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 58 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 56 sandwich bars and takeaways across Regents Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Regents Park. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Regents Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Regents Park Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a place like Regents Park, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Southampton. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What else we do in Regents Park
Regents Park: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Regents Park during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 24 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Regents Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Regents Park within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
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. We fix the price before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
