What TR19 inspection looks like in Up Nately
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Up Nately, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Up Nately are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Up Nately is 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 5.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Robert May's School or anywhere near Up Nately, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

TR19 inspection in Up Nately
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Up Nately and the rest of Hampshire. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and checking the result of a recent clean, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a small place like Up Nately, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Up Nately: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Up Nately?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Up Nately?
Food hygiene inspections in Up Nately are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need TR19 inspection in Up Nately, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Up Nately?
You can’t 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Stephen or elsewhere in Up Nately, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Up Nately, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
