Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
TR19 inspection in Bowling Alley
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We are often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and missing TR19 certificates or history, on insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Bowling Alley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Bowling Alley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bowling Alley in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bowling Alley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you work in Bowling Alley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Bowling Alley keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are 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.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is Bowling Alley in your area?
Yes. We work in Bowling Alley and the rest of Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Bowling Alley
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Historic houses near Bowling Alley, such as Farnham Castle about 3.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
