About our TR19 inspection in Brick Hill
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Brick Hill and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Brick Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Brick Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brick Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brick Hill is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Brick Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Brick Hill is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Brick Hill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Brick Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Brick Hill 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. Kitchens in Brick Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Saviour or anywhere around Brick Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Brick Hill
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brick Hill (Botleys Mansion is about 4 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, 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. Somewhere like Brick Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A planned visit to Brick Hill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
