How we handle TR19 inspection in Fawley
Before any clean in Fawley, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Work in a small place like Fawley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Fawley before we set off.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fawley
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Common problems we fix in Fawley
When a site in Fawley changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Beaulieu Palace House, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Fawley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What else we do in Fawley
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Fawley
At about 1 mile from the coast, Fawley is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fawley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Fawley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Fawley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
