What TR19 inspection looks like in Rookley Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars in Rookley Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Rookley Green is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Rookley Green are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Sheat Manor is about 1.1 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Rookley Green is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

TR19 inspection in Rookley Green
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you’re dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Rookley Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rookley Green.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Rookley Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Whitecroft Hospital is the nearest hospital to Rookley Green, about 1.8 miles north-west.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Rookley Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Common questions in Rookley Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Rookley Green?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rookley Green. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you come out to Rookley Green?
Yes. Rookley Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Rookley Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: 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 happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Rookley Green a current picture. Planning a trip to Rookley Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
