How we handle TR19 inspection in Batt's Corner
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Batt's Corner, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Batt's Corner questions
Do you work overnight in Batt's Corner?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Batt's Corner doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Batt's Corner?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
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. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
How the visit works
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. Visits to a village like Batt's Corner are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Related advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in Batt's Corner
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Batt's Corner, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Batt's Corner. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Batt's Corner is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church Of The Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Batt's Corner, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Farnham Castle, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Batt's Corner; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Near you in Batt's Corner
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Halfway House. Batt's Corner’s nearest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2.1 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Museum of Farnham (3.6 miles north) and Chase Community Hospital (4.2 miles south). The countryside around Batt's Corner includes Farnham Heath.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Batt's Corner
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Batt's Corner is Chase Community Hospital, about 4.2 miles south.

Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Batt's Corner that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
