How we handle TR19 inspection in Tadley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Tadley and across Hampshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Around a town like Tadley, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
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, and we are fully insured.

Tadley questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tadley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tadley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Tadley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Tadley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you cover Tadley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Tadley included.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Kitchen extracts in Tadley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Tadley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tadley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Tadley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like Park Prewett Hospital, about 5.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Tadley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Tadley is about 6 miles north of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Tadley and the rest of Hampshire. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 10 miles from Tadley.
Our technicians cover all of RG26 and RG7 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Church Road, Ambrose Road and Wickham Close or a nearby road, we can help. Main roads around Tadley include the A340 and B3051, which makes travel easy for TR19 inspection. If your site is just outside Tadley, we cover Baughurst (1 mile west), Pamber Heath (1 mile east), Heath End (1 mile west), Inhurst (2 miles west) and Aldermaston Soke (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (6 miles south), Fleet (14 miles south-east), Yateley (13 miles east), Hook (9 miles south-east), Popley (5 miles south-east) and Kempshott (8 miles south).
Near you in Tadley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Hurst School, The Falcon pub and The Hurst School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Midgham station, roughly 3.3 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (5.2 miles south) and Calleva Museum (1.9 miles east).
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Tadley, we will book 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
Why it’s worth doing now in Tadley
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. 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. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why Tadley businesses choose us
- Fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with photos after every visit

When to call us in Tadley
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tadley (The Vyne is about 4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What affects the quote in Tadley
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
