Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Baybridge TR19 inspection
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Baybridge and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Baybridge
Before any clean in Baybridge, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Baybridge, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Baybridge
What TR19 inspection looks like in Baybridge
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Baybridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Baybridge sits within the area of 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Baybridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Owslebury Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Baybridge
Do you work at weekends in Baybridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Baybridge keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Baybridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Baybridge included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. In a small place like Baybridge, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
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 the report can go to both.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Baybridge
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St John's Rooms And Chapel is the nearest hospital to Baybridge, about 4.7 miles north-west.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits

The process
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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Baybridge are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
