How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: 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 photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Damerham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

About our TR19 inspection in Damerham
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you’re dealing with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing access panels found on survey, we can help, from access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a small place like Damerham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is 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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Damerham
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Damerham?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Where a hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Damerham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

- What hours they’ll be on site
Damerham: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Damerham?
Fire safety enforcement in Damerham is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Damerham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll plan it.
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.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
TR19 inspection in Damerham: the local picture
The fire and rescue service for Damerham is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. Food hygiene inspections in Damerham are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 3.5 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
