About our TR19 inspection in Abbots Worthy
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Abbots Worthy and the rest of Hampshire. If you have post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can put it right.
In a small place like Abbots Worthy, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Abbots Worthy
Can you work in Abbots Worthy outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Abbots Worthy keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Abbots Worthy be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Abbots Worthy, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
How do you protect the area?
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 set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Abbots Worthy.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

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.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Why act early in Abbots Worthy
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. If the system at a site near Abbots Worthy fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
