TR19 inspection in Redenham, done properly
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. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Redenham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Common questions in Redenham
Is Redenham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Redenham?
Fire safety enforcement in Redenham is handled by 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.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
TR19 inspection in Redenham: the local picture
Fire safety in Redenham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Redenham. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter in the Wood or elsewhere in Redenham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Redenham is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Redenham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
