TR19 inspection in Bidden
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about systems that need surveying before cleaning and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Bidden, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we’re called out for in Bidden
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bidden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Bidden
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Other services in Bidden
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Bidden
Can the work in Bidden be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bidden needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Bidden?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bidden. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is Bidden in your area?
Yes. We work in Bidden and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
