TR19 inspection for sites in Crondall

For landlords and multi-site operators

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

TR19 inspection in Crondall

Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.

Work in a small place like Crondall starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

TR19 inspection around Crondall

Kitchens in Crondall get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Crondall. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Crondall (Farnham Castle is about 2.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 3.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Crondall is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Sites in Crondall get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Crondall is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for TR19 inspection. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 12 miles from Crondall.

Every address in GU10 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

The process

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Crondall can be planned properly.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Different parts, different methods

Canopy and plenum

The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.

Extract fan and discharge

The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.

FAQs for Crondall

Who inspects food businesses in Crondall?

In Crondall, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Is Crondall within the area you cover?

Yes, Crondall is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

How much time does an inspection need?

Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?

It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Common problems we fix in Crondall

When a site in Crondall changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.

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

  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Checking the result of a recent clean
  • An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
  • Missing TR19 certificates or history

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Crondall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether the quote shows VAT

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Do not box in or cover duct access panels
  • Report grease dripping from the canopy
  • Keep to the recommended interval
  • Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together

Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.

Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crondall

A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Crondall now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
