TR19 inspection in Hurstbourne Tarrant, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hurstbourne Tarrant and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have missing access panels found on survey and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

Hurstbourne Tarrant questions
Who inspects food businesses in Hurstbourne Tarrant?
The local authority for Hurstbourne Tarrant is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Hurstbourne Tarrant be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hurstbourne Tarrant can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you cover Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes. Hurstbourne Tarrant is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hurstbourne Tarrant.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Hurstbourne Tarrant
What staff can safely do
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What we’re called out for in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Hurstbourne Tarrant, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Why it’s worth doing now in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. A planned visit to Hurstbourne Tarrant is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
