About our TR19 inspection in Abinger Common
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include insurers asking for TR19 evidence and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Abinger Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Abinger Common
Can the work in Abinger Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Abinger Common can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Abinger Common?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Abinger Common?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Abinger Common (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Abinger Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
