About our TR19 inspection in Abbotts Barton
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Abbotts Barton and the rest of Hampshire. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Abbotts Barton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. A quieter site near Abbotts Barton still needs its system looked after.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

When to call us in Abbotts Barton
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Where a hall near St Bartholomew's Church, or anywhere in Abbotts Barton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Comparing quotes

- What records you’ll receive afterwards
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Abbotts Barton
Do you cover smaller places like Abbotts Barton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Abbotts Barton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Abbotts Barton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Abbotts Barton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Abbotts Barton.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Abbotts Barton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 118 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 takeaways in and around Abbotts Barton, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for Abbotts Barton is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Abbotts Barton are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as St Bede Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Winchester station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
