TR19 inspection in Standford, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Standford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.

Kitchen extracts in Standford
There are about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Standford, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Standford are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Standford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Standford, about 1.1 miles west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Standford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Weyford Nursery and Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Standford, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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 any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Standford is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Standford
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Standford in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Standford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Standford?
Yes. Standford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
