TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Inhurst
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Inhurst and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and uncertainty over how often to clean.
In a small place like Inhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Common questions in Inhurst
Can school kitchens in Inhurst be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Inhurst, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Inhurst after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Inhurst can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Why act early in Inhurst
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Inhurst kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Inhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Inhurst. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Inhurst get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Hurst School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Inhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 5.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Inhurst.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
