TR19 inspections and grease testing in Frogmore, Hampshire
We cover Frogmore for TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
About our TR19 inspection in Frogmore
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
In a smaller place like Frogmore, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Why deal with it now?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. A site near Frogmore that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first

Do you need TR19 inspection in Frogmore?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A kitchen near Sandhurst station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Other services in Frogmore
TR19 inspection around Frogmore
There are about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 36 sandwich bars and takeaways across Frogmore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), 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 Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Frogmore. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Frogmore is 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Frogmore is Frimley Park Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-east. Where a hall near St Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Frogmore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork.
