TR19 inspections in Sarisbury

- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Sarisbury

TR19 inspection in Sarisbury, 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 are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Sarisbury, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have 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 are fully insured.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
TR19 inspection around Sarisbury
At about 2 miles from the coast, Sarisbury is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Sarisbury. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Sarisbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Sarisbury, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Common questions in Sarisbury
Does the sea air around Sarisbury make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can, as Sarisbury is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Will you come out to Sarisbury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sarisbury is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
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, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Sarisbury
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Commuter trade near Swanwick station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Sarisbury can normally be finished without a second trip.
- 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 pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
