TR19 inspection in Knights Enham, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Knights Enham and the rest of Hampshire. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Knights Enham, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

TR19 inspection in Knights Enham: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 53 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 27 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Knights Enham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Knights Enham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Knights Enham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Roman Way Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Knights Enham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Knights Enham is about 1 mile north of Andover, in Hampshire.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Knights Enham knowing what to expect.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
FAQs for Knights Enham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Knights Enham?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Knights Enham. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in Knights Enham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Knights Enham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Which accreditations do you hold?

What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
