What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ashley
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a village or hamlet like Ashley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. In a place like Ashley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ashley run smoothly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Questions from Ashley
Is Ashley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Ashley outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Ashley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What else we do in Ashley
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits

TR19 inspection in Ashley: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Ashley are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Ashley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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 St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Ashley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 4.3 miles south-west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 5.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Ashley is about 6 miles north of Romsey, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Ashley, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Ashley is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for TR19 inspection. Southampton is in our area too, around 11 miles away.
Work in SO20 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside Ashley, we cover Little Somborne (1 mile north), Up Somborne (1 mile north-east), King's Somborne (1 mile west), Lower Slackstead (3 miles south) and Braishfield (4 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (6 miles east), Eastleigh (9 miles south-east), Andover (9 miles north), Totton (11 miles south), Chandler's Ford (7 miles south-east) and Hedge End (13 miles south-east).
