TR19 inspections and grease testing in Wigley, Hampshire
TR19 inspection across Wigley and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.

- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
TR19 inspection in Wigley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wigley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Wigley: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Wigley?
The local authority for Wigley is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Wigley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
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. We show your readings against those figures.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Wigley?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wigley (Landford Manor is about 4.4 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

- Whether they’re fully insured
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

TR19 inspection in Wigley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Wigley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Wigley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Wigley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep the route to access panels clear
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
