Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Cufaude, Hampshire
For TR19 inspection in Cufaude, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
TR19 inspection in Cufaude, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
In a small place like Cufaude, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

TR19 inspection around Cufaude
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cufaude. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Cufaude are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Cufaude falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 0.9 miles west), access may need planning. A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Cufaude is about 4 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. From the centre of Cufaude to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Cufaude is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Reading, around 10 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Cufaude
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Vyne Chapel or elsewhere in Cufaude, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Common questions in Cufaude
Can the work in Cufaude be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cufaude needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cufaude?
In Cufaude, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Cufaude, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
