TR19 inspections and grease testing in Froyle, Hampshire

- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
What we are called out for in Froyle
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary of the Assumption or elsewhere in Froyle, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Froyle
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. 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, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and missing access panels found on survey.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Froyle knowing what to expect.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading

Why it’s worth doing now in Froyle
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Froyle
Who is the fire and rescue service for Froyle?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Froyle. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Froyle?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Froyle is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What affects the quote in Froyle
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Grease, kitchens and Froyle
Fire safety in Froyle 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. Food hygiene inspections in Froyle are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
