Your questions about TR19 inspection in Fleet
Can a school canteen extract in Fleet be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Fleet, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fleet?
Fleet is in the area of 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 we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
About our TR19 inspection in Fleet
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Most kitchens in a town like Fleet can’t close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
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, with full insurance on top.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Three things shape a visit in Fleet: when you’re closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

TR19 inspection around Fleet
The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fleet. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fleet sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Fleet get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Heatherside Junior School or anywhere near Fleet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.1 miles south), access may need planning. Where a hall near Fleet Methodist Church, or anywhere in Fleet, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
What affects the quote in Fleet
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
