TR19 inspections and grease testing in Little London, Hampshire

What happens if it’s left?
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. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after each visit

TR19 inspection in Little London
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and extracts that have never been grease tested.
In a small place like Little London, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Little London
Grease, kitchens and Little London
Fire safety in Little London 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. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little London. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Little London, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little London is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Little London
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Little London and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Never cook with filters missing
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys

Common questions in Little London
Do you work at weekends in Little London?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Little London doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Little London?
The local authority for Little London is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Do you cover Little London?
Yes. We cover Little London and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Little London?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive 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 we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Little London, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
