How we handle TR19 inspection in East Harting
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in East Harting and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and checking the result of a recent clean.
Somewhere as small as East Harting, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need TR19 inspection in East Harting?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 1.7 miles south-west), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Harting affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Grease, kitchens and East Harting
Fire safety in East Harting falls to 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. About 49 miles out from central London, East Harting is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to East Harting is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.

FAQs for East Harting
Can you come to East Harting after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers East Harting?
In East Harting, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
