TR19 inspections in Well
TR19 inspection in Well from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Common problems we fix in Well
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Lord Wandsworth College Chapel or elsewhere in Well, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

TR19 inspection in Well
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Well, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Well
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
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.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:

FAQs for Well
Which environmental health team covers Well?
Food hygiene inspections in Well are carried out by Hart council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Well?
Yes. Well is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Well, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
TR19 inspection in Well: the local picture
At about 40 miles from central London, Well sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The fire and rescue service for Well is 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lord Wandsworth College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 5.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Well is about 5 miles west of Farnham, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Well, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Well is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for TR19 inspection. We also work in Guildford, around 15 miles away.
Work in RG29 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside Well, we cover Long Sutton (1 mile west), South Warnborough (2 miles west), Odiham (3 miles north), Broad Oak (3 miles north) and North Warnborough (4 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Basingstoke (9 miles north-west), Farnborough (8 miles north-east), Fleet (5 miles north-east), Aldershot (7 miles east), Alton (5 miles south-west) and Petersfield (14 miles south).
Near you in Well
Well’s nearest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Fleet Community Hospital (5.8 miles north-east) and Barley Pound (2.2 miles east). For a walk, there’s Holybourne Hill and Dogmersfield Lake.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
