TR19 inspections in Filmore Hill
TR19 inspection in Filmore Hill from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Filmore Hill can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
How we handle TR19 inspection in Filmore Hill
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Filmore Hill and the rest of Hampshire. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Filmore Hill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009

Questions from Filmore Hill
Can you come to Filmore Hill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Filmore Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Filmore Hill?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Filmore Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
Grease, kitchens and Filmore Hill
At about 52 miles from central London, Filmore Hill sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Filmore Hill are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Filmore Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Filmore Hill (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 5.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Filmore Hill is about 6 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. For TR19 inspection in and around Filmore Hill, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
