Why act early in East Meon
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near East Meon rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How we handle TR19 inspection in East Meon
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as East Meon, 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. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
East Meon: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like East Meon?
Yes, East Meon is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers East Meon?
Food hygiene inspections in East Meon are carried out by East Hampshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
TR19 inspection in East Meon: the local picture
East Meon is about 54 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In East Meon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near East Meon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
East Meon is about 4 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Across the GU32 area, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, East Meon among them. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 13 miles away.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
The cost 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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need TR19 inspection in East Meon, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Meon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in East Meon?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in East Meon shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Meon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
