Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
West Tisted TR19 inspection
We cover West Tisted for TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
About our TR19 inspection in West Tisted
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Somewhere as small as West Tisted, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Tisted
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
FAQs for West Tisted
Who inspects food businesses in West Tisted?
Food hygiene inspections in West Tisted are carried out by East Hampshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like West Tisted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.

What affects the quote in West Tisted
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need TR19 inspection in West Tisted, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Tisted, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection in West Tisted: the local picture
West Tisted is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in West Tisted. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in West Tisted, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 3.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
West Tisted is about 7 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in West Tisted, we can take on TR19 inspection.

Why act early in West Tisted
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. With notice, the visit to West Tisted can be fitted around your bookings and events.
