TR19 inspection in Exton
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right, from insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
FAQs for Exton
Can you get to a site in Exton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Exton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Exton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Exton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
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 works whoever carried out the clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Exton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Kitchen extracts in Exton
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Exton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Exton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Exton (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Exton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Exton a current picture. A fault that closes a site in a village like Exton affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
