Upper Burgate questions
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Burgate?
The local authority for Upper Burgate is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Upper Burgate?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Upper Burgate
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Upper Burgate and the rest of Hampshire. If you’re dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Upper Burgate, 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Burgate.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Kitchen extracts in Upper Burgate
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Upper Burgate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). 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 Upper Burgate. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Upper Burgate get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 1.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Woodgreen Methodist Church, or anywhere in Upper Burgate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
