Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Foxcotte, Hampshire
TR19 inspection for Foxcotte, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
How we handle TR19 inspection in Foxcotte
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Somewhere as small as Foxcotte, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the quote in Foxcotte
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Questions from Foxcotte
Can you get to a site in Foxcotte?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Foxcotte?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
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 insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Foxcotte
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Managing agents and facilities teams in Foxcotte
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we are called out for in Foxcotte
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
For schools such as Harrow Way Community School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Foxcotte, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures 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 work begins.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- File every inspection report with your certificates
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Kitchen extracts in Foxcotte
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Foxcotte. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Foxcotte falls to 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. In Foxcotte, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Thomas or elsewhere in Foxcotte, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
