How we handle TR19 inspection in Monk Sherborne
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Work in a small place like Monk Sherborne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. If the system at a site near Monk Sherborne fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Monk Sherborne
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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 are happy to quote for all of it.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Monk Sherborne
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Monk Sherborne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Monk Sherborne. 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. Monk Sherborne sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Monk Sherborne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Monk Sherborne is Park Prewett Hospital, about 1.8 miles south.

Monk Sherborne: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Monk Sherborne?
Kitchens in Monk Sherborne are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Monk Sherborne?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Monk Sherborne. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Monk Sherborne?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Common problems we fix in Monk Sherborne
When a site in Monk Sherborne changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
For schools such as The Priory Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the visit 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 a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Monk Sherborne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
