About our TR19 inspection in Compton
Taking on a kitchen in Compton with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Compton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
If you need TR19 inspection in Compton, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Compton
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Compton knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Compton
Can you come to Compton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Compton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Compton?
Food hygiene inspections in Compton are carried out by Guildford council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover Compton?
Yes. Our technicians work in Compton, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
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. If the system at a site near Compton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Kitchen extracts in Compton
Food Standards Agency records list about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Compton. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Compton sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Compton are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Farnham Castle, about 1.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Compton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as South Farnham School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Marys Parish Church, or anywhere in Compton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
