Hollywater: your questions answered
Is Hollywater within the area you cover?
Yes, Hollywater is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Hollywater be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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. Our report sets your readings against both.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What is TR19?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hollywater
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hollywater and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Somewhere as small as Hollywater, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a place like Hollywater, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hollywater
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
What we are most often called out for:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodlea Primary School or anywhere near Hollywater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hollywater run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hollywater
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Hollywater kitchens: local notes
There are about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hollywater, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hollywater. 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. In Hollywater, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mark's Sacred Church or anywhere around Hollywater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
