TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Whitehill
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Whitehill are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Whitehill kitchens: local notes
Look up Whitehill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Whitehill. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Whitehill get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Whitehill sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Whitehill is Chase Community Hospital, about within half a mile north-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodlea Primary School or anywhere near Whitehill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Whitehill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Whitehill.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Whitehill questions
Can school kitchens in Whitehill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Whitehill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Whitehill?
The local authority for Whitehill is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Whitehill
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
