How we handle TR19 inspection in Warborne
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. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Warborne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Warborne
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Warborne?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Warborne. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Warborne in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Warborne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Warborne
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
Do you need TR19 inspection in Warborne?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Kitchen extracts in Warborne
Warborne lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Warborne, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Warborne sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 0.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Warborne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Warborne a current picture. Somewhere as small as Warborne, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
