How we handle TR19 inspection in Belmont
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Belmont and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Kitchens around a place like Belmont are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Your opening hours decide when we come to Belmont, not ours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Common questions in Belmont
Do you work in villages like Belmont?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Belmont is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school canteen extract in Belmont be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Belmont. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Belmont
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Belmont
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Belmont. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Sutton council inspect food businesses in Belmont. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Belmont is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Sutton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Belmont, about within half a mile east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Belmont, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Belmont station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
