About our TR19 inspection in Frogham
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We’re often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Frogham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Frogham kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frogham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Frogham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Frogham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Ascension or elsewhere in Frogham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Frogham (Breamore House is about 4 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Frogham.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- 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, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Frogham
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Frogham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Frogham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frogham?
Food hygiene inspections in Frogham are carried out by New Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Frogham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Frogham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
