What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Steep Marsh, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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

How we handle TR19 inspection in Steep Marsh
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Steep Marsh, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Steep Marsh
Is Steep Marsh within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Steep Marsh is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Steep Marsh be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Steep Marsh. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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 on a pre-clean survey?
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A fault that closes a site in a village like Steep Marsh affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Steep Marsh
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Steep Marsh. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Steep Marsh are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Steep Marsh sits within the area of 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Steep Marsh, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Steep Marsh, about 1.8 miles south. 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.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Steep Marsh
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Steep Marsh
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
