Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
St Cross TR19 inspection
We cover St Cross for TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
How we handle TR19 inspection in St Cross
Before any clean in St Cross, 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 wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a smaller place like St Cross, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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, next to our reports.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in St Cross
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in St Cross?
Kitchens in St Cross are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in St Cross outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in St Cross doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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 can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.

What else we do in St Cross
Why act early in St Cross
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Booking now means the visit to St Cross is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What TR19 inspection looks like in St Cross
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 30 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central St Cross. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in St Cross. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers St Cross. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 0.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Faith's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Cross Church or elsewhere in St Cross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in St Cross, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit

What affects the quote in St Cross
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a place like St Cross, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
