How we handle TR19 inspection in Bletchingley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have sections of duct that can’t be reached and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Bletchingley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Bletchingley kitchens: local notes
Look up Bletchingley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bletchingley. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Bletchingley falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Bletchingley are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Bletchingley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Caterham Dene Hospital (about 3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we are called out for in Bletchingley
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
For schools such as Bletchingley Village Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Common questions in Bletchingley
Do you work at weekends in Bletchingley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bletchingley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Bletchingley within the area you cover?
Yes, Bletchingley is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bletchingley, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
