TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Over Wallop
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. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Over Wallop, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Over Wallop
Who is the fire and rescue service for Over Wallop?
Over Wallop is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Over Wallop?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Over Wallop needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is grease thickness testing?
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). The results are given in microns.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

TR19 inspection around Over Wallop
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Over Wallop. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Over Wallop get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wallop Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Over Wallop, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Over 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Over Wallop, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
