TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Brown Candover
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Brown Candover and the rest of Hampshire. If you are dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help.
Work in a small place like Brown Candover starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Brown Candover
Which fire service covers Brown Candover?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Brown Candover. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brown Candover?
In Brown Candover, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Brown Candover in your area?
Yes. Brown Candover is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.

Brown Candover kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Brown Candover are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 53 miles out from central London, Brown Candover is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Brown Candover, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Around Brown Candover

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Brown Candover
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
For kitchens in and around Brown Candover, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brown Candover and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
