TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Upper Enham
Taking on a kitchen in Upper Enham with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Enham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Upper Enham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

FAQs for Upper Enham
Can you work in Upper Enham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upper Enham?
The local authority for Upper Enham is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Upper Enham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: 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.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

What TR19 inspection looks like in Upper Enham
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Upper Enham. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Upper Enham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Upper Enham is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
