About our TR19 inspection in Townhill Park
Taking on a kitchen in Townhill Park with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
Around a smaller place like Townhill Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Townhill Park
Do you work at weekends in Townhill Park?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Townhill Park needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Townhill Park?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Townhill Park. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep to the recommended interval
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Grease, kitchens and Townhill Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 46 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 50 takeaways and sandwich shops in Townhill Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Environmental health officers from Southampton council inspect food businesses in Townhill Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Townhill Park is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Townhill Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Townhill Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
