TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hamble-le-Rice
Before any clean in Hamble-le-Rice, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you’re dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Hamble-le-Rice, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

Hamble-le-Rice questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hamble-le-Rice out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hamble-le-Rice. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hamble-le-Rice?
Fire safety enforcement in Hamble-le-Rice is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
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 testing shows if your kitchen needs more.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hamble-le-Rice.

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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Around Hamble-le-Rice, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Hamble-le-Rice
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hamble-le-Rice
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, 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. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
