FAQs for Steep
Who is the fire and rescue service for Steep?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Steep. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Steep?
Yes. Steep 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.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Steep, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
In a village or hamlet like Steep, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Kitchen extracts in Steep

For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Steep falls to 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Steep. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Steep?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Steep, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Steep is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Steep
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Steep
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
