FAQs for Walhampton
Can a school canteen extract in Walhampton be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Walhampton. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Walhampton?
Yes. Walhampton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
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, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
TR19 inspection in Walhampton, done properly
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Walhampton, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the 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, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Walhampton
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
TR19 inspection around Walhampton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Walhampton. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Walhampton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 43 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 takeaways across Walhampton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Walhampton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Walhampton is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-west. Commuter trade near Lymington Town station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Walhampton is about 1 mile east of Lymington, in Hampshire.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
When to call us in Walhampton
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lymington Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of insurance
Managing agents and facilities teams in Walhampton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do 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 Walhampton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
