What affects the quote in Churt
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
TR19 inspection in Churt, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and uncertainty over how often to clean, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Churt, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Churt
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Churt
Will you come out to Churt?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Churt is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Churt?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Churt. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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 often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Churt
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Churt kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Churt. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Churt are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Churt falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Churt, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 4.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
