Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Empshott TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection across Empshott and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
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
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
TR19 inspection in Empshott, done properly
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 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. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Empshott, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Empshott.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A fault that closes a site in a village like Empshott affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Questions from Empshott
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Empshott?
Fire safety enforcement in Empshott is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Empshott?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Empshott doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Why survey before a clean?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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. Our report sets your readings against both.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Empshott
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.

When to call us in Empshott
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Empshott, about 3.3 miles north-east.
