What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
About our TR19 inspection in Holt End
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. Common call-outs are for kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Holt End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Holt End
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Holt End.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common questions in Holt End
Do you cover smaller places like Holt End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Holt End included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Holt End?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Holt End. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Holt End kitchens: local notes
About 48 miles out from central London, Holt End is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holt End. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Holt End, such as Bentworth Hall about 0.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holt End
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract

Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
Do you need TR19 inspection in Holt End?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Holt End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
