TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Kings Worthy
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Kings Worthy, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Kings Worthy can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

FAQs for Kings Worthy
Do you work at weekends in Kings Worthy?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Kings Worthy can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Kings Worthy?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kings Worthy. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Kings Worthy?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
School kitchens, at schools like Kings Worthy Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Grease, kitchens and Kings Worthy
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kings Worthy, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Kings Worthy. 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. Kings Worthy sits within the area of 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 Mary, or anywhere in Kings Worthy, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
