How we handle TR19 inspection in Warnford
Taking on a kitchen in Warnford with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
In a village or hamlet like Warnford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that 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 Warnford, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Warnford
Who is the fire and rescue service for Warnford?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Warnford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Warnford outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Warnford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep to the recommended interval
- 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.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What we are called out for in Warnford
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Where a hall near Church of Our Lady, or anywhere in Warnford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
