Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Petersfield

Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Petersfield and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and sites with gaps in their extract records.

Most kitchens in a town like Petersfield cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Petersfield kitchens: local notes

Look up Petersfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways across Petersfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Petersfield is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Petersfield are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Petersfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Petersfield Infant School or anywhere near Petersfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leave it or put it right?

Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Petersfield is better off booking it now.

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 go through it with you.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

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.

Part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.

Vertical risers

In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.

How it works

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Petersfield, and where the van can go.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. The same access points are opened up.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How to get a quote

When to call us in Petersfield

Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.

Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
  • Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
  • Sections of duct that can’t be reached
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning

If you run a café or takeaway near Petersfield station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What paperwork you get at the end

Petersfield questions

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Petersfield during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Petersfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Which council inspects kitchens in Petersfield?

In Petersfield, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

How do you protect the area?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Do we have to follow TR19 by law?

No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.

How we price TR19 inspection

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • What state the system is in
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
