TR19 inspection in Clanville
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Clanville and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Clanville, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
When to call us in Clanville
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Clanville, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
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 every part of the duct can be cleaned.

What else we do in Clanville
Grease, kitchens and Clanville
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Clanville. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Clanville is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
Where a hall near St Margaret's Chapel, or anywhere in Clanville, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Clanville: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Clanville?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Clanville is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Clanville?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Clanville. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Clanville can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
