- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
How we handle TR19 inspection in Dormans Park
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
For a kitchen in or near Dormans Park, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Dormans Park
Which environmental health team covers Dormans Park?
Kitchens in Dormans Park are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Dormans Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Dormans Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Dormans Park in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Dormans Park, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

TR19 inspection in Dormans Park: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dormans Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Dormans Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Dormans Park falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Dormans Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Dormans Park?
When a site in Dormans Park changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital about 1 mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Dormans Park, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dormans Park
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Dormans Park and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
