About our TR19 inspection in East Clandon
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in East Clandon and the rest of Surrey. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
In a small place like East Clandon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in East Clandon
Is East Clandon within the area you cover?
Yes, East Clandon is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Clandon?
In East Clandon, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in East Clandon
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Clandon is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 3.5 miles west.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

East Clandon kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars in and around East Clandon, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in East Clandon get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for East Clandon is 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.
For schools such as Clandon CofE Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near East Clandon, such as Hatchlands Park about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
