Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Warsash TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Warsash, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. We plan the journey to Warsash and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
TR19 inspection in Warsash
Taking on a kitchen in Warsash with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a smaller place like Warsash, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Warsash
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Warsash, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Kitchen extracts in Warsash
The coast is only about 1 mile from Warsash. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Warsash. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Warsash is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Coldeast, about 0.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Around Warsash
In Warsash, that means kitchens and buildings near Brookfield Community School and Language College, Hamble Common and Jolly Farmer Public House and the streets around them.

Why act early in Warsash
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Warsash
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals are not affected.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

Warsash questions
Can you get to a site in Warsash?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Warsash is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Warsash?
It can. Warsash is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
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.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
