- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Liss
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are missing TR19 certificates or history and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
For a smaller kitchen near Liss, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Liss kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Liss, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Liss falls to 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. In Liss, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Liss station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Liss is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west.

What to send for a quote

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

When to call us in Liss
Grease is 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. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
For schools such as Liss Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

- Proof of accreditation you can verify

- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Liss, not ours.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
