In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
About our TR19 inspection in Quarley
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. We are often asked to deal with an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits.
In a small place like Quarley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Quarley run smoothly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What else we do in Quarley
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep to the recommended interval
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Why act early in Quarley
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Planning a trip to Quarley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Quarley questions
Can the work in Quarley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Quarley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Quarley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
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
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
What TR19 inspection looks like in Quarley
Kitchens in Quarley get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Quarley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Quarley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
