TR19 inspections in Greywell
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Greywell, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a place like Greywell, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

TR19 inspection in Greywell, done properly
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Greywell, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Greywell
Do you cover smaller places like Greywell?
Yes. Greywell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Greywell?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Greywell. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Greywell
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Robert May's School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

What TR19 inspection looks like in Greywell
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars in Greywell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Greywell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Greywell 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.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Greywell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works

On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Greywell can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What affects the quote in Greywell
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 we will price it together.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
