TR19 inspections and grease testing in Brambridge, Hampshire
Our technicians work in Brambridge on TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Brambridge, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

TR19 inspection in Brambridge
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Brambridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Brambridge
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 4.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What hours they’ll be on site
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
Why deal with it now?
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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Questions from Brambridge
Can you get to a site in Brambridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brambridge is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Brambridge?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars across Brambridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Brambridge. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
