How we handle TR19 inspection in Littleton
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can put it right, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Littleton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Littleton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Littleton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Littleton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Littleton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Littleton is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Harestock Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Catherine, or anywhere in Littleton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Littleton
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, 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. Somewhere as small as Littleton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Littleton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Littleton?
The local authority for Littleton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Littleton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Littleton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Why act early in Littleton
If a kitchen in Littleton has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
