Bellfields kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 36 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bellfields. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Bellfields get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Bellfields. 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 Farnham Road Hospital (about 1.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Pond Meadow School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Guildford Castle, about 1.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Bellfields; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Bellfields is about 1 mile north of Guildford, in Surrey. Sites in Bellfields get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Bellfields is one of them.
TR19 inspection in GU1, GU2 and GU3 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

About our TR19 inspection in Bellfields
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bellfields gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Bellfields
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need TR19 inspection in Bellfields, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bellfields than wait for a failure.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Bellfields

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a place like Bellfields, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Bellfields questions
Will you come out to Bellfields?
Yes. Bellfields is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Bellfields be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 27 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bellfields. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
