How we handle TR19 inspection in Easton
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. We’re often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Easton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Easton?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Easton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What insurance they carry
Why act early in Easton
Sites in Easton that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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 will explain each part.

What affects the quote in Easton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Easton knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
If you need TR19 inspection in Easton, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Easton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Easton. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Easton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Easton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 2.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Peter Symonds College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Easton questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Easton?
Fire safety enforcement in Easton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Easton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Easton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
