TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Brookwood
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and systems that need surveying before cleaning, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Brookwood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

What we are called out for in Brookwood
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Brookwood Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

TR19 inspection in Brookwood: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Brookwood, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Brookwood are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Brookwood. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Saviour's Church or elsewhere in Brookwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brookwood is Brookwood Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-east.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Brookwood
Which council inspects kitchens in Brookwood?
In Brookwood, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Brookwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brookwood needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Brookwood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Brookwood
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
