TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in New Alresford
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Kitchens around a place like New Alresford are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from New Alresford
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in New Alresford during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of New Alresford. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in New Alresford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Alresford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep the route to access panels clear
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.

How the job changes from site to site

Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Do you need TR19 inspection in New Alresford?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. 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:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Historic houses near New Alresford, such as Hinton Ampner House about 3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
