FAQs for Longparish
Do you work in villages like Longparish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Longparish?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Longparish can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
TR19 inspection in Longparish, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with missing access panels found on survey and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Longparish, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Longparish
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Longparish, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include

What TR19 inspection looks like in Longparish
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Longparish. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Longparish. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 5.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Longparish Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need TR19 inspection in Longparish, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a place like Longparish, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how to check a contractor.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Longparish is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
