TR19 Inspection in Temple Valley
TR19 inspection across Temple Valley and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
TR19 inspection in Temple Valley
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. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Temple Valley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Temple Valley
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple Valley
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Temple Valley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Why act early in Temple Valley
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. With notice, the visit to Temple Valley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Temple Valley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Temple Valley?
Yes, Temple Valley is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Temple Valley?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Temple Valley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will plan it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. 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’ll say so.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Temple Valley kitchens: local notes
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Temple Valley. 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. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Temple Valley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles east), access may need planning.
