TR19 inspections and grease testing for Lower Upham, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
About our TR19 inspection in Lower Upham
Taking on a kitchen in Lower Upham with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about surveys needed before quoting a full clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a small place like Lower Upham, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every 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.

TR19 inspection in Lower Upham: the local picture
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lower Upham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Lower Upham is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Lower Upham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Lower Upham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lower Upham
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

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. An inspection now gives a site in Lower Upham a current picture. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Look out for any of the following:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
