Stoke questions
Can you come to Stoke after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stoke needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke?
Stoke is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Stoke
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Stoke and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Stoke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Stoke
What we’re called out for in Stoke
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Stoke, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Stoke, about 60 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Fire safety in Stoke falls to 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.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Stoke
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
