About our TR19 inspection in Owslebury Bottom
Before any clean in Owslebury Bottom, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
In a small place like Owslebury Bottom, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 are fully insured.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Owslebury Bottom
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Owslebury Bottom is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 3.7 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Questions from Owslebury Bottom
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Owslebury Bottom?
Food hygiene inspections in Owslebury Bottom are carried out by Winchester City council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Owslebury Bottom after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: 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. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Owslebury Bottom is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
