How we handle TR19 inspection in Grateley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Grateley.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Kitchen extracts in Grateley
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Grateley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Grateley falls to 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.
For schools such as Grateley Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Grateley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For kitchens close to Grateley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Common questions in Grateley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Grateley?
Kitchens in Grateley are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Grateley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Grateley needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does grease testing take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Do you work in Grateley?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Grateley.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Why act early in Grateley
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Grateley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
