- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Upper Wield
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on wet film thickness tests, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Upper Wield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Upper Wield
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work 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 Upper Wield.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Upper Wield
- Post-clean checks

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Upper Wield
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upper Wield is Alton Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles east.

Upper Wield questions
Will you come out to Upper Wield?
Yes, Upper Wield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upper Wield?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upper Wield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Wield
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. In a small place like Upper Wield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, 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.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Grease, kitchens and Upper Wield
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upper Wield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Upper Wield falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Upper Wield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hall Place is about 2.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
