About our TR19 inspection in Tangley
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Tangley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Tangley?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Where a hall near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, or anywhere in Tangley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
What affects the quote in Tangley
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Tangley: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Tangley?
The local authority for Tangley is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Tangley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tangley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
What is grease thickness testing?
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.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
