TR19 inspections and grease testing in Weston, Hampshire
Need TR19 inspection in Weston? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
About our TR19 inspection in Weston
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for parts of the system left out of past cleans and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Weston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Weston: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Weston?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Weston. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Weston within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Weston included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere as small as Weston, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

TR19 inspection around Weston
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Weston. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Weston get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council.

How the job changes from site to site

Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
