TR19 Inspection in St Mary Bourne

- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
TR19 inspection in St Mary Bourne
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, on pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Grease, kitchens and St Mary Bourne
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central St Mary Bourne. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for St Mary Bourne is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in St Mary Bourne. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around St Mary Bourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St Mary Bourne Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

What the work covers

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What we’re called out for in St Mary Bourne
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near St Mary Bourne, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What affects the quote in St Mary Bourne
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
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 are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Questions from St Mary Bourne
Can a school canteen extract in St Mary Bourne be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of St Mary Bourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after St Mary Bourne?
Fire safety enforcement in St Mary Bourne is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
