When to call us in East Cholderton
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we handle TR19 inspection in East Cholderton
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near East Cholderton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
East Cholderton questions
Which environmental health team covers East Cholderton?
The local authority for East Cholderton is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in East Cholderton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in East Cholderton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
