Isle of Wight · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Westridge TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for commercial sites in Westridge and across the Isle of Wight. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Westridge
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Westridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight. We are often asked to deal with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Westridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Westridge
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
Grease, kitchens and Westridge
Westridge is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Westridge. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Westridge. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St John's Church, or anywhere in Westridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Smallbrook Junction station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Westridge, about 5.5 miles north.

What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. In a small place like Westridge, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Questions from Westridge
Who is the fire and rescue service for Westridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Westridge is handled by 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.
Which environmental health team covers Westridge?
The local authority for Westridge is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Westridge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Westridge, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
