Hill Grove kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hill Grove. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hill Grove. 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 Hill Grove are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Barnabas or anywhere around Hill Grove, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hill Grove is Knowle Hospital, about 4.4 miles south.

TR19 inspection in Hill Grove
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help.
Work in a small place like Hill Grove 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hill Grove
Can you come to Hill Grove after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hill Grove does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hill Grove?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hill Grove. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hill Grove
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hill Grove now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Hill Grove
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
For schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hill Grove.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
