What TR19 inspection looks like in Little London
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Little London and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Little London. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Little London get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
The Vyne, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Little London; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little London is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3.6 miles south.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Little London
Before any clean in Little London, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Little London
Can you work in Little London outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Little London can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Little London?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Little London is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs 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.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Little London are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in Little London
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Stephen's Church or anywhere around Little London, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little London
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with filters missing
