TR19 inspection in Rookley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Rookley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Rookley
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rookley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rookley. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Rookley get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. 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.
Where a hall near St. Olave's Church, or anywhere in Rookley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Sheat Manor is about 1 mile west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Rookley is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Rookley, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

We also work in Portsmouth, around 14 miles away.

Rookley: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Rookley?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Rookley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Rookley that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. With notice, the visit to Rookley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What we are called out for in Rookley
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rookley.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
