TR19 inspection in Goose Hill
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Goose Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we’re called out for in Goose Hill
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ashford Hill Primary School or anywhere near Goose Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before you book anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Goose Hill knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Goose Hill
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For TR19 inspection in Goose Hill, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Goose Hill
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why it’s worth doing now in Goose Hill
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Somewhere as small as Goose Hill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

FAQs for Goose Hill
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Goose Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Goose Hill is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Goose Hill?
The local authority for Goose Hill is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Goose Hill?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Grease, kitchens and Goose Hill
We cover Goose Hill, about 50 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Goose Hill. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Goose Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
