TR19 inspection in Hattingley, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hattingley and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. We are often asked to deal with checking the result of a recent clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Hattingley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Hattingley
Hattingley, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Hattingley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Medstead Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Hattingley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the GU34 area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Hattingley among them. Southampton is in our area too, about 20 miles from Hattingley.

We also cover South Town (1 mile east), New Copse (1 mile north-east), Soldridge (2 miles south), Medstead (2 miles south-east) and Holt End (2 miles north-east).

Common questions in Hattingley
Who inspects food businesses in Hattingley?
The local authority for Hattingley is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Hattingley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you cover Hattingley?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Hattingley included.

Common problems we fix in Hattingley
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Historic houses near Hattingley, such as Bentworth Hall about 1.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Hattingley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
