Common questions in Headley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Headley?
Headley is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Headley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Headley
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Headley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Grease, kitchens and Headley
Look up Headley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Headley. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Headley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Headley sits within the area of 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Holme Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Headley is about 6 miles south of Farnham, in Hampshire. Across the GU35 area, we can take on TR19 inspection. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Headley among them. Guildford is in our area too, about 14 miles from Headley.

We also cover Arford (1 mile north-east), Headley Down (1 mile east), Lindford (1 mile west), Standford (1 mile south-west) and Deadwater (1 mile west).

Local landmarks in Headley

The nearest railway station is Liphook station, roughly 3.4 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Chase Community Hospital (1.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Deadwater Valley and Wheeler's Down.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Headley?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Headley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why act early in Headley
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Headley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Trading since 2009

- Every job surveyed first

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Headley run smoothly.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
