Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
TR19 inspection in Winchfield Hurst
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys onwards.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
We’re 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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Winchfield Hurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Winchfield Hurst
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

FAQs for Winchfield Hurst
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Winchfield Hurst during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Winchfield Hurst. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Winchfield Hurst after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Winchfield Hurst keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
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.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
When to call us in Winchfield Hurst
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
School kitchens, at schools like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
