About our TR19 inspection in Hoe Gate
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are missing TR19 certificates or history and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a village or hamlet like Hoe Gate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hoe Gate, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Hoe Gate: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Hoe Gate?
Kitchens in Hoe Gate are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Hoe Gate?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hoe Gate. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Hoe Gate
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Hoe Gate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Hoe Gate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Hoe Gate 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Hoe Gate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Newtown Soberton Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

If a kitchen in Hoe Gate has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a small place like Hoe Gate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
