How we handle TR19 inspection in Woodside
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across access surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Woodside starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Woodside questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Woodside?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Woodside. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Woodside?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Woodside. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Woodside?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extracts in Woodside
Fire safety in Woodside falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Woodside. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Woodside, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Woodside are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive

Advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Woodside
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Woodside shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
School kitchens, at schools like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
