TR19 inspections and grease testing in Botley, Hampshire
Need TR19 inspection in Botley? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.

Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection in Botley
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. We’re often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and sections of duct that can’t be reached, on deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Around a smaller place like Botley, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Botley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Botley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 11 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Botley. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work at weekends in Botley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Botley keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Even a site near Botley that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Botley
Look up Botley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Botley. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Botley are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Botley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Botley Church of England Controlled Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Botley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Botley?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Botley is Moorgreen Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-west.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Your opening hours decide when we come to Botley, not ours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
