About our TR19 inspection in Kimpton
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and extracts that have never been grease tested.
For a kitchen in or near Kimpton, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Kimpton.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Common questions in Kimpton
Will you come out to Kimpton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kimpton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kimpton?
Fire safety enforcement in Kimpton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Kimpton
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, which is why readings matter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
Why it’s worth doing now in Kimpton
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a place like Kimpton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why Kimpton businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with photos after every visit
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fully insured

TR19 inspection around Kimpton
In Kimpton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kimpton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Kimpton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
