- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Blendworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
TR19 inspection in Blendworth, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you’re dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Blendworth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Blendworth
Do you work in villages like Blendworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Blendworth included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Blendworth?
The local authority for Blendworth is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you set up regular visits?
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.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

TR19 inspection in Blendworth: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways in and around Blendworth, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Blendworth falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Blendworth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

What we’re called out for in Blendworth
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Blendworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
