About our TR19 inspection in Upper Kingston
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can help.
In a small place like Upper Kingston, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

TR19 inspection around Upper Kingston
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars in and around Upper Kingston, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Upper Kingston is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Upper Kingston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Upper Kingston (Avon Tyrrell House is about 2.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Trinity Congregational Church, or anywhere in Upper Kingston, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What else we do in Upper Kingston
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Upper Kingston, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- 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.

When to call us in Upper Kingston
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
For schools such as Ringwood Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Common questions in Upper Kingston
Can you get to a site in Upper Kingston?
Yes, Upper Kingston is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Upper Kingston?
In Upper Kingston, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
