About our TR19 inspection in Passfield
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Passfield, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
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.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Passfield: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Passfield during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Passfield. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Passfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Passfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem 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 on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Passfield knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Passfield
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Passfield
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
