About our TR19 inspection in Hartley Mauditt
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Work in a small place like Hartley Mauditt starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hartley Mauditt can be planned properly.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hartley Mauditt
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hartley Mauditt?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hartley Mauditt. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hartley Mauditt?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hartley Mauditt. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extracts in Hartley Mauditt
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hartley Mauditt and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Hartley Mauditt is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Hartley Mauditt. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Leonard's Church or elsewhere in Hartley Mauditt, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Hartley Mauditt
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
