For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ansteadbrook and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Ansteadbrook

After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system.

In a village or hamlet like Ansteadbrook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How we price TR19 inspection

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How big the system is
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • How many systems or sites are involved

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Looking after it afterwards

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Diary the next grease test and clean
  • Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
  • Flag oily drips near the extract
  • Never cook with filters missing

After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.

Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

Different parts, different methods

Vertical risers

Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.

Canopy and plenum

Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Ansteadbrook

Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Sections of duct that can’t be reached
  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records

A TR19® clean in Ansteadbrook doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What we do, step by step

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ansteadbrook run smoothly.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. The same access points are opened up.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.

How often should grease be tested?

Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.

Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?

Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
