Managing agents and facilities teams in Oakhanger
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
TR19 inspection in Oakhanger
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Oakhanger, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys

What affects the quote in Oakhanger
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
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
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Oakhanger
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Oakhanger and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Oakhanger is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Oakhanger. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mill Chase Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

FAQs for Oakhanger
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Oakhanger?
Fire safety enforcement in Oakhanger is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Oakhanger outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Oakhanger needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. If the system at a site near Oakhanger fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

When to call us in Oakhanger
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary Magdalene's Church or anywhere around Oakhanger, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Oakhanger.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
