TR19 inspection in Abbotts Ann, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Abbotts Ann, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Abbotts Ann?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Abbotts Ann, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
Abbotts Ann: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Abbotts Ann?
Kitchens in Abbotts Ann are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in Abbotts Ann?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Abbotts Ann can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Abbotts Ann, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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.
