TR19 inspection in Ramsdean, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help, from post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Ramsdean, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ramsdean
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Ramsdean
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Langrish Primary School or anywhere near Ramsdean, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Ramsdean are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
TR19 inspection around Ramsdean
Ramsdean, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ramsdean. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Ramsdean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 2.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Ramsdean is about 2 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Sites in Ramsdean get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 13 miles away.
TR19 inspection in GU32 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We also cover Weston (1 mile east), Buriton (2 miles south-east), Nursted (3 miles east), Chalton (4 miles south) and Blendworth (5 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (15 miles west), Gosport (15 miles south-west), Havant (9 miles south), Fareham (13 miles south-west), Horndean (6 miles south) and Alton (11 miles north).
Landmarks near Ramsdean
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Petersfield School. For rail, the closest station is Petersfield station, roughly 2.3 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Clanfield Earthwork (3.3 miles south) and Bear Museum (2.5 miles east). Not far away are Pidham Hill.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Ramsdean questions
Can you work in Ramsdean outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ramsdean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ramsdean?
Kitchens in Ramsdean are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
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, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
