TR19 inspection in Preston Candover
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
Work in a small place like Preston Candover 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. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Preston Candover are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Preston Candover questions
Will you come out to Preston Candover?
Yes. Preston Candover is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Preston Candover?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Preston Candover doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Preston Candover?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Preston Candover Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Preston Candover, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

TR19 inspection around Preston Candover
We cover Preston Candover, about 50 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Preston Candover. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.6 miles east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Preston Candover, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
