What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

TR19 inspection in Greatham
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you have cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Greatham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Greatham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Greatham?
Kitchens in Greatham are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you come out to Greatham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Greatham?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Greatham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Places near Greatham
What else we do in Greatham
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Kitchen extracts in Greatham
Food hygiene inspections in Greatham are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Greatham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Greatham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Greatham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Greatham is Chase Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east.
