Grease, kitchens and West End Green
Food hygiene inspections in West End Green are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West End Green, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

TR19 inspection in West End Green, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in West End Green with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to West End Green run smoothly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Common problems we fix in West End Green
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Common questions in West End Green
Which environmental health team covers West End Green?
Food hygiene inspections in West End Green are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers West End Green?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
Do you work in West End Green?
Yes. We cover West End Green and the rest of West Berkshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in West End Green
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. With notice, the visit to West End Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
