Do you need TR19 inspection in Earlswood?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
A hospital like East Surrey Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

About our TR19 inspection in Earlswood
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. We are often asked to deal with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Around a smaller place like Earlswood, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Earlswood
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Common questions in Earlswood
Can you get to a site in Earlswood?
Yes. Earlswood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Earlswood?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Earlswood than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Earlswood
The FSA’s data shows about 20 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Earlswood. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Earlswood are the job of Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Earlswood is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as St John's Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you cook for passing trade around Earlswood (Surrey) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

There’s a railway station in Earlswood itself: Earlswood (Surrey) station. A little further out are The Belfry (0.9 miles north) and Surrey Fire Museum (1.5 miles north-west).

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Earlswood can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.

Getting ready for the visit
