How we handle TR19 inspection in Itchen Abbas
Taking on a kitchen in Itchen Abbas with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Itchen Abbas, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Questions from Itchen Abbas
Is Itchen Abbas within the area you cover?
Yes, Itchen Abbas is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Itchen Abbas?
Food hygiene inspections in Itchen Abbas are carried out by Winchester City council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- 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
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on.

- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Itchen Abbas kitchens: local notes
At about 57 miles from central London, Itchen Abbas sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Itchen Abbas are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Itchen Abbas is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 3.9 miles south-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Itchen Abbas Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Itchen Abbas, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Itchen Abbas is about 4 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Itchen Abbas or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Itchen Abbas is one of them. We also work in Southampton, around 14 miles away.
Work in SO21 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We cover sites on Little Hayes Lane, Northington Road and Station Hill and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Martyr Worthy (1 mile west), Itchen Stoke (1 mile east), Ovington (2 miles south-east), Easton (2 miles west) and Temple Valley (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (13 miles north-east), Winchester (4 miles south-west), Eastleigh (10 miles south-west), Andover (13 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (10 miles south-west) and Alton (12 miles east).
Landmarks near Itchen Abbas

Well-known places in the area include St John's Rooms And Chapel (3.9 miles south-west) and Wolvesey Castle (4.1 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.
Why act early in Itchen Abbas
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Itchen Abbas is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
