TR19 Inspection in Dawesgreen
TR19 inspection for commercial sites in Dawesgreen and across Surrey. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Dawesgreen, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Dawesgreen
Before any clean in Dawesgreen, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. Common call-outs are for confirming a clean reached the whole system and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Dawesgreen 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Dawesgreen
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Burys Court School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Why act early in Dawesgreen
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Dawesgreen affects everyone who depends on it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Why Dawesgreen businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every visit written up, with photos
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
