TR19 inspection across Weyhill

About our TR19 inspection in Weyhill

A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.

In a small place like Weyhill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Weyhill

Do you cover smaller places like Weyhill?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Weyhill included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Who inspects food businesses in Weyhill?

The local authority for Weyhill is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How long does grease testing take?

Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.

Do we have to follow TR19 by law?

No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?

We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What does a pre-clean survey involve?

The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?

After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Weyhill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Weyhill

The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Weyhill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Weyhill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Weyhill. 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.

Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Weyhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 2.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How it works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Weyhill run smoothly.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Preparing for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Get a fixed quote

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
  • A faulty or failing extract fan
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Post-clean checks
  • Insurer audits
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Access surveys

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings

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.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels

A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Weyhill

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • The scale of the work
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The condition of the system

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 the price is fixed before we start.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
