About our TR19 inspection in Middle Wallop
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
In a small place like Middle Wallop, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A planned visit to Middle Wallop is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we are called out for in Middle Wallop
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Middle Wallop, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes

What else we do in Middle Wallop
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Middle Wallop knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.

What affects the quote in Middle Wallop
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Questions from Middle Wallop
Which council inspects kitchens in Middle Wallop?
Food hygiene inspections in Middle Wallop are carried out by Test Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in Middle Wallop outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
