About our TR19 inspection in Elvetham Heath
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Elvetham Heath gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep to the recommended interval
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Elvetham Heath
Which council inspects kitchens in Elvetham Heath?
That is Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Elvetham Heath. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Elvetham Heath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Elvetham Heath included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, 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. Visits to a place like Elvetham Heath are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Elvetham Heath
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Elvetham Heath. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Elvetham Heath is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Elvetham Heath. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Elvetham Heath Primary School or anywhere near Elvetham Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about under half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Fleet station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
