How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Bishopsgate is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

About our TR19 inspection in Bishopsgate
Taking on a kitchen in Bishopsgate with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Work in a small place like Bishopsgate starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Bishopsgate
When a site in Bishopsgate changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
For schools such as St John's Beaumont School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Bishopsgate kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Bishopsgate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Bishopsgate is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Bishopsgate are the job of Runnymede council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Royal Chapel of All Saints or elsewhere in Bishopsgate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Frogmore House is about 2.5 miles north), access may need planning.
Bishopsgate is about 2 miles north-west of Egham, in Surrey.

FAQs for Bishopsgate
Which council inspects kitchens in Bishopsgate?
Food hygiene inspections in Bishopsgate are carried out by Runnymede council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Bishopsgate?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bishopsgate needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What affects the quote in Bishopsgate
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
