TR19 inspection in Anna Valley
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Anna Valley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Kitchen extracts in Anna Valley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in Anna Valley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Anna Valley get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Anna Valley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Anna Valley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 1.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Anna Valley
Can school kitchens in Anna Valley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Anna Valley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Anna Valley after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
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.
How do you 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.
Is Anna Valley in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Anna Valley, within the South East and London area we cover.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
Why act early in Anna Valley
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Anna Valley a current picture. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Anna Valley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Anna Valley.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What else we do in Anna Valley
What we are called out for in Anna Valley
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like Balksbury Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you will receive afterwards
