TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lane End
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Lane End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Lane End questions
Can you work in Lane End outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lane End?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lane End. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lane End.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Lane End?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

TR19 inspection in Lane End: the local picture
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lane End. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Lane End sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 2.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the quote in Lane End
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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.
