How we handle TR19 inspection in Hawley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Hawley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hawley questions
Can you get to a site in Hawley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Hawley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hawley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Hawley kitchens: local notes
There are about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hawley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. The fire and rescue service for Hawley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hawley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 1.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near Blackwater station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Hawley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
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. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hawley can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
