What TR19 inspection looks like in Southington
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Southington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Southington are the job of Basingstoke and Deane 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. Southington is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Southington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Overton Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

TR19 inspection in Southington
Before any clean in Southington, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Work in a small place like Southington 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Southington
Southington: your questions answered
Can you work in Southington outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Southington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Southington?
Yes, Southington is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Southington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the quote in Southington
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Southington
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Southington
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Southington a current picture. Planning a trip to Southington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Each visit written up, with photos

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
