How we handle TR19 inspection in Faberstown
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 insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection around Faberstown
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Faberstown. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Faberstown, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Faberstown
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
When to call us in Faberstown
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter in the Wood or elsewhere in Faberstown, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What staff can safely do
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Faberstown: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Faberstown?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Faberstown. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Faberstown?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Faberstown is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Faberstown are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
