TR19 inspection around Heckfield
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Heckfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Heckfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Heckfield sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Daneshill School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Heckfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 1.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

TR19 inspection in Heckfield
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Heckfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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, before work begins.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Heckfield before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Heckfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

FAQs for Heckfield
Who inspects food businesses in Heckfield?
Kitchens in Heckfield are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Heckfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Heckfield included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
