TR19 inspections and grease testing in Broadford, Surrey
TR19 inspection across Broadford and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
TR19 inspection in Broadford, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. Typical jobs include an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and sites with gaps in their extract records, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Broadford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Broadford
Why act early in Broadford
Sites in Broadford that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a small place like Broadford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with photos after every visit

Common questions in Broadford
Is Broadford within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broadford included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Broadford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. 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. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Broadford knowing what to expect.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote

Related advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Broadford
When a site in Broadford changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Shalford Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Broadford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadford. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Broadford is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Broadford get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Shalford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael or elsewhere in Broadford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadford
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Broadford and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
