TR19 inspection in Timsbury, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
Kitchen extracts in Timsbury
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Timsbury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Timsbury. 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. Timsbury sits within the area of 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Timsbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Timsbury, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 1.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Stanbridge Earls School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Diary the next grease test and clean
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Timsbury
Which environmental health team covers Timsbury?
The local authority for Timsbury is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Timsbury outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Timsbury can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
