TR19 inspection in Roughdown, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Roughdown and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What else we do in Roughdown
TR19 inspection in Roughdown: the local picture
Roughdown is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Roughdown, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Roughdown is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Roughdown (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.7 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Blackfield Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Roughdown
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 5.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Roughdown knowing what to expect.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Managing agents and facilities teams in Roughdown
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
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 the report can go to both.
