Common problems we fix in Bishopstoke
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stoke Park Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
TR19 inspection in Bishopstoke, done properly
Before any clean in Bishopstoke, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Around a smaller place like Bishopstoke, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Bishopstoke
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Bishopstoke, not ours.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bishopstoke
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Bishopstoke
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bishopstoke
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bishopstoke in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bishopstoke. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Bishopstoke after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bishopstoke keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll plan it.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Grease, kitchens and Bishopstoke
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bishopstoke. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bishopstoke. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Bishopstoke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's or elsewhere in Bishopstoke, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
