TR19 inspection in Wintershill, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Wintershill and the rest of Hampshire. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Wintershill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Wintershill kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Wintershill falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Wintershill get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 3.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Wintershill?
When a site in Wintershill changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
For schools such as Wyvern Technology College, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Wintershill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
For TR19 inspection in Wintershill, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
FAQs for Wintershill
Will you come out to Wintershill?
Yes. Wintershill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wintershill?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wintershill. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wintershill
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the quote in Wintershill
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
