Managing agents and facilities teams in Elvetham
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Elvetham
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you are dealing with missing access panels found on survey and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Elvetham, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.

Common problems we fix in Elvetham
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Elvetham kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Elvetham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Elvetham is 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 Hart council inspect food businesses in Elvetham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Elvetham Heath Primary School or anywhere near Elvetham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Mary at Elvetham Hall, or anywhere in Elvetham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Elvetham questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Elvetham?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Elvetham. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Elvetham?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What affects the quote in Elvetham
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
