How we handle TR19 inspection in Bishop's Waltham
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Bishop's Waltham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. We’re often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and sites with gaps in their extract records, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Kitchens around a place like Bishop's Waltham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Bishop's Waltham.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep the route to access panels clear
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Why it’s worth doing now in Bishop's Waltham
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bishop's Waltham than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Bishop's Waltham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Bishop's Waltham?
In Bishop's Waltham, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Bishop's Waltham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bishop's Waltham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
