TR19 inspection in Bramley Green, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like Bramley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bramley Green before we set off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bramley Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bramley Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Bramley Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Bramley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Bramley (Hants) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bramley Green (The Vyne is about 2.1 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bramley Green?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
School kitchens, at schools like Sherfield School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
Bramley Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Bramley Green?
The local authority for Bramley Green is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Bramley Green?
Yes. Bramley Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
