Your questions about TR19 inspection in Coxhill Green

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Coxhill Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Coxhill Green are carried out by Surrey Heath council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Coxhill Green during the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Coxhill Green. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.

How often should grease be tested?

We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Which accreditations do you hold?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.

Do you cover Coxhill Green?

Yes. We work in Coxhill Green and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

About our TR19 inspection in Coxhill Green

Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and checking the result of a recent clean.

In a small place like Coxhill Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

Good records are part of the job. 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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Part by part

Canopy and plenum

We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.

Vertical risers

Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a village or hamlet like Coxhill Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. We photograph each area to record how it was left.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Advice

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coxhill Green

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Coxhill Green and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coxhill Green

TR19 inspection in Coxhill Green: the local picture

Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Coxhill Green. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. In Coxhill Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Coxhill Green 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.

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Coxhill Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What a clean won’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • A faulty or failing extract fan
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first
  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Where we work

  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Wet film thickness tests

  • Insurer audits

Do you need TR19 inspection in Coxhill Green?

TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans
  • Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
  • Missing TR19 certificates or history
  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brookwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Coxhill Green, about 2.4 miles south.
