About our TR19 inspection in Bramshott Chase
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like Bramshott Chase, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys

TR19 inspection around Bramshott Chase
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bramshott Chase. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Bramshott Chase get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Bramshott Chase is Surrey 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 Luke, or anywhere in Bramshott Chase, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Woolmer Hill School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Bramshott Chase is about 8 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Bramshott Chase or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Work in GU26 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Upper Hammer Lane, Old Bramshott Chase and Portsmouth Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Bramshott Chase, we cover Hammer Bottom (1 mile south), Hammer (1 mile south), Shottermill (1 mile south-east), Woolmer Hill (1 mile south) and Haslemere (2 miles south-east).

Near you in Bramshott Chase
Typical jobs here are in premises near Shottermill Junior School and The Prince of Wales pub. The nearest railway station is Haslemere station, roughly 1.7 miles east. Nearby you will also find Haslemere and District Hospital (2.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Upper Lake and Gibbet Hill.
What we are called out for in Bramshott Chase
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Bramshott Chase, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Bramshott Chase questions
Can you get to a site in Bramshott Chase?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Bramshott Chase be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bramshott Chase does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
