How we handle TR19 inspection in Weavers Down
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Weavers Down and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Work in a small place like Weavers Down 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Weavers Down.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.

Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.

What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What we’re called out for in Weavers Down
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.

How the job changes from site to site
