Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Quidhampton TR19 inspection
For TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification in Quidhampton, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
TR19 inspection in Quidhampton, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Quidhampton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Quidhampton
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Look out for any of the following:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Quidhampton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Quidhampton.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- 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.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What affects the quote in Quidhampton
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Common questions in Quidhampton
Which council inspects kitchens in Quidhampton?
In Quidhampton, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Quidhampton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
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.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Grease, kitchens and Quidhampton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars in Quidhampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Quidhampton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Quidhampton get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. 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.
For schools such as Overton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a café or takeaway near Overton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
