TR19 inspection in The Hummicks
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like The Hummicks, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
FAQs for The Hummicks
Do you clean school canteen extracts around The Hummicks out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around The Hummicks, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for The Hummicks?
The Hummicks is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What TR19 inspection looks like in The Hummicks
At about 2 miles from the coast, The Hummicks is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of The Hummicks. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. The Hummicks 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 you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child or elsewhere in The Hummicks, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
The Hummicks is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire.

What affects the quote in The Hummicks
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in The Hummicks
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for any of the following:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to The Hummicks can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in The Hummicks that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near The Hummicks rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
