TR19 inspections and grease testing in Crosswater, Surrey
Our technicians work in Crosswater on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Crosswater
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Somewhere as small as Crosswater, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Crosswater
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John's CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Crosswater
Do you work overnight in Crosswater?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Crosswater needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Crosswater?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Crosswater is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
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.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Crosswater.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
