How we handle TR19 inspection in Bagmore
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
In a small place like Bagmore, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Bagmore is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What affects the quote in Bagmore

What TR19 inspection looks like in Bagmore
Bagmore is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Bagmore, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Mary or elsewhere in Bagmore, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Bagmore, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Bagmore is one of them. You can also see our page for Reading, about 18 miles away.
TR19 inspection in RG25 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside Bagmore, we cover Southrope (1 mile east), Burkham (1 mile south-west), Shalden Green (2 miles east), Bradley (3 miles south-west) and Bentworth (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (5 miles north-west), Winchester (15 miles south-west), Farnborough (14 miles north-east), Fleet (11 miles north-east), Aldershot (13 miles east) and Alton (5 miles south-east).
What’s near Bagmore
Bagmore’s nearest station is Alton station, roughly 4.9 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Alton Community Hospital (4.9 miles south-east) and Gliding Heritage Centre (1.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Bagmore includes Farleigh Hill.
What we’re called out for in Bagmore
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Historic houses near Bagmore, such as Hall Place about 3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Bagmore: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bagmore?
Yes, Bagmore is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Bagmore outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Bagmore keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. 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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
Why act early in Bagmore
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bagmore affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
