About our TR19 inspection in Burgh Heath
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 are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Burgh Heath
Different parts, different methods
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.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

Common problems we fix in Burgh Heath
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Fitznells Manor, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Burgh Heath; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Burgh Heath
Food Standards Agency records list about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burgh Heath. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burgh Heath. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Burgh Heath is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Aberdour School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Burgh Heath is Banstead Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-east.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Burgh Heath.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. 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.
