TR19 inspection in Badger Farm
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 pictures, for sites in Badger Farm and the rest of Hampshire. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can help, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Badger Farm, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Booking now means the visit to Badger Farm is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Badger Farm
Which environmental health team covers Badger Farm?
In Badger Farm, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Badger Farm?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll plan it.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Badger Farm
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Tell us when your site near Badger Farm is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Badger Farm?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 1 mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
