TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Waterlooville
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Around a town like Waterlooville, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do 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. We arrive in Waterlooville once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Waterlooville
At about 3 miles from the coast, Waterlooville is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Waterlooville. 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 Waterlooville. 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 Saint George's or elsewhere in Waterlooville, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hart Plain Junior School or anywhere near Waterlooville, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
When to call us in Waterlooville
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Waterlooville (Warblington Castle is about 4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Why it’s worth doing now in Waterlooville
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Waterlooville: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Waterlooville?
It can. Salt air reaches Waterlooville, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who inspects food businesses in Waterlooville?
That is Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Waterlooville. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
How far ahead should we book?
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
