Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
TR19 inspection in Minley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, on wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Minley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Minley?
When a site in Minley changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 2.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Minley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Minley in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Minley. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Minley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Minley can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work in Minley?
Yes. Minley is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Minley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Minley
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. With notice, the visit to Minley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Kitchen extracts in Minley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Minley. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Minley are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Minley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Minley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Frogmore Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
