TR19 inspection in Old Alresford, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you’re dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Old Alresford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Old Alresford.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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 the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Old Alresford questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Old Alresford?
Food hygiene inspections in Old Alresford are carried out by Winchester City council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work at weekends in Old Alresford?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Old Alresford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Common problems we fix in Old Alresford
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
