What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hurstbourne Priors
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about insurers asking for TR19 evidence and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Priors, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hurstbourne Priors affects everyone who depends on it.

What else we do in Hurstbourne Priors
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hurstbourne Priors can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
FAQs for Hurstbourne Priors
Which council inspects kitchens in Hurstbourne Priors?
Kitchens in Hurstbourne Priors are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Do you work in villages like Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll plan it.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
