How we handle TR19 inspection in Micheldever
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
In a small place like Micheldever, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

TR19 inspection around Micheldever
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Micheldever. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Micheldever get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Micheldever CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When to call us in Micheldever
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Micheldever, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.

What else we do in Micheldever
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Micheldever, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Micheldever: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Micheldever?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Micheldever keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Micheldever?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Micheldever. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Do you cover Micheldever?
Yes. Our technicians work in Micheldever, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
