What affects the quote in Hensting
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection in Hensting
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hensting and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a small place like Hensting, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

Common problems we fix in Hensting
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
Why it’s worth doing now in Hensting
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. If the system at a site near Hensting fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Hensting kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Hensting and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hensting is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hensting are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Hensting, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Hensting is about 3 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. From the centre of Hensting to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. Southampton is in our area too, about 7 miles from Hensting.

Close by, we work in Owslebury (1 mile north-east), Owslebury Bottom (1 mile north-east), Baybridge (2 miles east), Morestead (2 miles north) and Lane End (4 miles north-east).

Local landmarks in Hensting

A little further out are St John's Rooms And Chapel (4.3 miles north) and Eastleigh Museum (3.5 miles south-west). Not far away are Shawford Down and Twyford Down.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Hensting: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Hensting?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hensting does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Hensting?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hensting is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Hensting are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
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. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
