Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Sparsholt, Hampshire
One call covers TR19 inspections and grease testing in Sparsholt, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Sparsholt
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Sparsholt
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sparsholt before we set off.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Why act early in Sparsholt
If a kitchen in Sparsholt has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. With notice, the visit to Sparsholt can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Book the next test on the date in the report
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Sparsholt kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Sparsholt are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Sparsholt is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Stephen or anywhere around Sparsholt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When to call us in Sparsholt
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Sparsholt: your questions answered
Can you come to Sparsholt after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Sparsholt keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sparsholt?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sparsholt. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
