TR19 inspection in Battramsley
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a small place like Battramsley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
TR19 inspection in Battramsley: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Battramsley. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Battramsley. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Fire safety in Battramsley 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Battramsley is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John, or anywhere in Battramsley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Battramsley: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Battramsley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Battramsley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does the sea air around Battramsley make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Battramsley than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Is Battramsley in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Battramsley, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Battramsley knowing what to expect.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the quote in Battramsley
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
