TR19 inspection in Itchen Stoke, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Itchen Stoke
When a site in Itchen Stoke changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Itchen Stoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Itchen Stoke
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Itchen Stoke?
Kitchens in Itchen Stoke are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Itchen Stoke?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

- The scale of the work

Itchen Stoke kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Itchen Stoke falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Itchen Stoke. 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, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Hinton Ampner House, about 4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Itchen Stoke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Itchen Stoke is about 5 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Itchen Stoke, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Itchen Stoke is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Itchen Stoke
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
