How we handle TR19 inspection in Stoke
Taking on a kitchen in Stoke with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a village or hamlet like Stoke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stoke, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- 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

- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Stoke
Sea air reaches Stoke, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 hotels and guest houses in Stoke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Stoke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Stoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Warblington Castle, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Stoke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Across the PO11 area, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Stoke is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for TR19 inspection.

What affects the quote in Stoke
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.

Other services in Stoke
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stoke is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Common questions in Stoke
Can a school canteen extract in Stoke be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoke. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Stoke?
It can, as Stoke is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you cover Stoke?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Stoke.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
