About our TR19 inspection in Winklebury
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Typical jobs include systems that need surveying before cleaning and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Winklebury gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Winklebury
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Even a site near Winklebury that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Winklebury
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Winklebury: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Winklebury?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Winklebury?
In Winklebury, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. 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. Around Winklebury, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
