TR19 inspection in Widley, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Widley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Widley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- File every inspection report with your certificates
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Widley
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Widley (Warblington Castle is about 3.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Why it’s worth doing now in Widley
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. 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. A planned visit to Widley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Widley
Is Widley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Widley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Widley?
Food hygiene inspections in Widley are carried out by Havant council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Widley.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Grease, kitchens and Widley
The coast is only about 2 miles from Widley. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 44 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 35 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Widley. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Widley get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Purbrook Park School or anywhere near Widley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Widley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
