About our TR19 inspection in Dogmersfield
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 access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
In a small place like Dogmersfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Dogmersfield
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dogmersfield (Farnham Castle is about 4.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Common questions in Dogmersfield
Do you work in villages like Dogmersfield?
Yes, Dogmersfield is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dogmersfield?
Kitchens in Dogmersfield are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
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, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us to book it in.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
TR19 inspection around Dogmersfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Dogmersfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Dogmersfield is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Dogmersfield get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Dogmersfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 1.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
