Up Somborne TR19 inspection
Specialist TR19 inspection for Up Somborne: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
What we are called out for in Up Somborne
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Up Somborne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Up Somborne
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Somewhere as small as Up Somborne, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Common questions in Up Somborne
Can the work in Up Somborne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Up Somborne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Up Somborne included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Up Somborne.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Up Somborne
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Up Somborne
Kitchens in Up Somborne get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Up Somborne is 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
