What TR19 inspection looks like in Bradley
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Bradley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Bradley is covered by 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.
A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Bradley, such as Hall Place about 1.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Bradley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Bradley or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too, about 20 miles from Bradley.

TR19 inspection in Bradley
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
For a kitchen in or near Bradley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bradley
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bradley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bradley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bradley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bradley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bradley?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bradley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or email us to book it in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What else we do in Bradley
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Bradley that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bradley affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
