Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in Privett has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

About our TR19 inspection in Privett
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Privett, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Privett
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
TR19 inspection in Privett: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Privett 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. We cover Privett, about 52 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Privett, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Privett, about 4.8 miles south-east.
Privett is about 5 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Privett, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Privett is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Privett?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 5 miles west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Privett knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Privett
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Privett?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Privett. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover smaller places like Privett?
Yes, Privett is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
