What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Alfold Crossways
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. 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. If you’re dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Alfold Crossways, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Alfold Crossways
Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Alfold Crossways. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Alfold Crossways is Surrey 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Alfold Crossways, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Why act early in Alfold Crossways
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. 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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Alfold Crossways now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Alfold Crossways
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A TR19® clean in Alfold Crossways doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
