TR19 inspections and grease testing in Drayton, Hampshire
Specialist TR19 inspection for Drayton: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Drayton, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Drayton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
What we are called out for in Drayton
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Drayton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Drayton
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Drayton affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We are fully insured
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Drayton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Drayton
Food hygiene inspections in Drayton are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 54 miles from central London, Drayton sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

Drayton questions
Who inspects food businesses in Drayton?
In Drayton, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Drayton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Drayton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
