Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Holybourne TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Holybourne, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
TR19 inspection in Holybourne
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 sites with gaps in their extract records and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on insurer audits, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Holybourne run smoothly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in Holybourne
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holybourne. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Holybourne are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. 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. Holybourne is covered by 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.
Historic houses near Holybourne, such as Bentworth Hall about 4.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common problems we fix in Holybourne
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holybourne is Alton Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the price is fixed

Holybourne questions
Which fire service covers Holybourne?
Holybourne is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Holybourne after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is Holybourne in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Holybourne, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
