What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: 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, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hyde
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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
In a smaller place like Hyde, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Hyde
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hyde?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hyde. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde?
Yes. Hyde is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
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 types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Common problems we fix in Hyde
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Bartholomew's Church or elsewhere in Hyde, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

TR19 inspection around Hyde
Food Standards Agency records list about 120 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways in Hyde and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kitchens in Hyde get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Hyde is 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Bede Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Winchester station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Hyde.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the quote in Hyde
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
