TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Crowhurst
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right.
In a small place like Crowhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Crowhurst kitchens: local notes
It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crowhurst. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Crowhurst is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 3.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Crowhurst (Chartwell is about 4.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Crowhurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Crowhurst is about 6 miles north of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH7, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Crowhurst is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for TR19 inspection. For sites nearby, see our London page (20 miles or so).

Why act early in Crowhurst
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Crowhurst
Can the work in Crowhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Crowhurst needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Crowhurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Crowhurst is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Crowhurst, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
