About our TR19 inspection in Hawkley
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Hawkley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Hawkley
In Hawkley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. We cover Hawkley, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hawkley is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Hawkley?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Hawkley shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Hawkley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Hawkley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
FAQs for Hawkley
Which council inspects kitchens in Hawkley?
Food hygiene inspections in Hawkley are carried out by East Hampshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Hawkley?
Yes. Hawkley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will plan it.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hawkley
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hawkley
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. If the system at a site near Hawkley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
