TR19 inspection in Ellisfield
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Ellisfield and the rest of Hampshire. If you’re dealing with parts of the system left out of past cleans and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Ellisfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
Common questions in Ellisfield
Can you get to a site in Ellisfield?
Yes, Ellisfield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Ellisfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ellisfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Ellisfield
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Ellisfield
Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Ellisfield. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Ellisfield is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.9 miles south), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St. Martin, or anywhere in Ellisfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
