What TR19 inspection looks like in Hunton
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hunton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Hunton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Hunton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

About our TR19 inspection in Hunton
Taking on a kitchen in Hunton with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about surveys needed before quoting a full clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a small place like Hunton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Hunton?
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
For kitchens in and around Hunton, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
Before you book anyone

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hunton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For TR19 inspection in Hunton, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Diary the next grease test and clean
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Hunton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Hunton: your questions answered
Can you work in Hunton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hunton can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Hunton?
Food hygiene inspections in Hunton are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
