How we handle TR19 inspection in Church Crookham
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
Work in a small place like Church Crookham 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In a small place like Church Crookham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

When to call us in Church Crookham
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Fleet Spiritualist Church or elsewhere in Church Crookham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Church Crookham questions
Can a school canteen extract in Church Crookham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Church Crookham. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Church Crookham within the area you cover?
Yes. Church Crookham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How often should grease be tested?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What affects the quote in Church Crookham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

TR19 inspection in Church Crookham: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Church Crookham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Church Crookham 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. Kitchens in Church Crookham get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Velmead Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Church Crookham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit 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. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Church Crookham.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
