What TR19 inspection looks like in Nether Wallop
Nether Wallop 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. In Nether Wallop, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Wallop Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

TR19 inspection in Nether Wallop
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can put it right, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Nether Wallop, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Nether Wallop is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us where we can park and unload

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Common questions in Nether Wallop
Can you get to a site in Nether Wallop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nether Wallop included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nether Wallop?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nether Wallop. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Nether Wallop?
When a site in Nether Wallop changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Nether Wallop, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
