About our TR19 inspection in Woolmer
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have sections of duct that can’t be reached and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Work in a small place like Woolmer 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Woolmer
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Woolmer shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Woolmer, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woolmer.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Woolmer a current picture. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Every job surveyed first

Woolmer: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Woolmer?
Fire safety enforcement in Woolmer is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woolmer?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Woolmer. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Woolmer in your area?
Yes. We work in Woolmer and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Woolmer kitchens: local notes
Woolmer is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. At about 44 miles from central London, Woolmer sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 1.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Woolmer is about 2 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Sites in Woolmer get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Woolmer is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 17 miles away.
Every address in GU33 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Greatham (1 mile south), Blackmoor (1 mile north-west), Longmoor (1 mile south-east), Weavers Down (2 miles east) and Liss Forest (2 miles south).

When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
