About our TR19 inspection in Binley
Before any clean in Binley, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Binley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.

What else we do in Binley
Managing agents and facilities teams in Binley
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Binley run smoothly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

When to call us in Binley
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Binley (Highclere Castle is about 3.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Binley
Will you come out to Binley?
Yes, Binley is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Binley?
The local authority for Binley is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Binley kitchens: local notes
Binley is about 58 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Binley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Why it’s worth doing now in Binley
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
