TR19 inspection in East Molesey
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in East Molesey and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right, from insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
In a smaller place like East Molesey, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
East Molesey questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Molesey?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Molesey. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in East Molesey?
Kitchens in East Molesey are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
East Molesey kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 62 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around East Molesey, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in East Molesey falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in East Molesey are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Molesey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Orchard Infant School or anywhere near East Molesey, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in East Molesey
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Everything the job in East Molesey needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
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, before work begins.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s better to plan the work at a site near East Molesey than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Every visit written up, with pictures

Common problems we fix in East Molesey
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. 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 these warning signs:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you cook for passing trade around Hampton Court station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
