Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 Inspection in Hipley
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Hipley, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
About our TR19 inspection in Hipley
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
For a kitchen in or near Hipley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Hipley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Hipley questions
Do you work in villages like Hipley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hipley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Hipley?
In Hipley, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hipley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What affects the quote in Hipley
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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 any work starts.
Kitchen extracts in Hipley
Kitchens in Hipley get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hipley. 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.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hipley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (about 4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
