About our TR19 inspection in Dormansland
Before any clean in Dormansland, 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 record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Somewhere as small as Dormansland, 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 is 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.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Dormansland
Can the work in Dormansland be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Dormansland can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Dormansland within the area you cover?
Yes, Dormansland is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Kitchen extracts in Dormansland
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in Dormansland and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dormansland. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Dormansland. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Dormansland, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 1.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Dormansland is about 3 miles north of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Dormansland, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

All of RH7 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Dormansland is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What we are called out for in Dormansland
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A kitchen near Dormans station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. If the system at a site near Dormansland fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
