About our TR19 inspection in Wolverton Common
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Wolverton Common and the rest of Hampshire. If you are dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Wolverton Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In a place like Wolverton Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Wolverton Common: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wolverton Common?
Fire safety enforcement in Wolverton Common is handled by 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.
Which environmental health team covers Wolverton Common?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wolverton Common. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wolverton Common.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common problems we fix in Wolverton Common
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
For schools such as The Hurst School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Grease, kitchens and Wolverton Common
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Wolverton Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Wolverton Common is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Wolverton Common are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Park Prewett Hospital, about 5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Catherine, or anywhere in Wolverton Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
