TR19 inspection in Bagshot
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We are often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and missing TR19 certificates or history, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In a smaller place like Bagshot, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Bagshot
How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. 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.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Visits to a place like Bagshot are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
When to call us in Bagshot
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Commuter trade near Bagshot station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bagshot
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bagshot?
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 do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bagshot in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 14 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bagshot, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you cover Bagshot?
Yes. We work in Bagshot and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will plan it.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Bagshot
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops across Bagshot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Bagshot are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Bagshot is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Frimley Park Hospital (about 3.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bagshot Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
