Hartley Wintney kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hartley Wintney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kitchens in Hartley Wintney get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hartley Wintney is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around Hartley Wintney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Greenfields Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

About our TR19 inspection in Hartley Wintney
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hartley Wintney and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Around a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hartley Wintney when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Why it’s worth doing now in Hartley Wintney
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hartley Wintney
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hartley Wintney is Fleet Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-east.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they’re fully insured
Hartley Wintney: your questions answered
Can the work in Hartley Wintney be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hartley Wintney can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hartley Wintney?
Fire safety enforcement in Hartley Wintney is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
