Managing agents and facilities teams in Sway
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
TR19 inspection in Sway, 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. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, on deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Sway gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We plan the journey to Sway and bring what the job is likely to need.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What happens if it’s left?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Even a site near Sway that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Grease, kitchens and Sway
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and B&Bs in and around Sway, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Sway. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Sway 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Luke's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Luke's Church or elsewhere in Sway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Sway station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

What affects the quote in Sway
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common questions in Sway
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sway?
Kitchens in Sway are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sway?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sway. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Do you cover Sway?

Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
