TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Deadwater
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a smaller place like Deadwater, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Deadwater kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Deadwater. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Deadwater is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Deadwater. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Mill Chase Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Deadwater is about 1 mile east of Bordon, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Deadwater, we can take on TR19 inspection. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a site near Deadwater, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Deadwater questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Deadwater?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Deadwater. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Deadwater outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Deadwater does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What do the grease readings need to be?
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.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When to call us in Deadwater
When a site in Deadwater changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Look out for any of the following:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Deadwater, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
