What we’re called out for in Egham Wick
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Egham Wick is King Edward VII Hospital, about 3.8 miles north.

TR19 inspection in Egham Wick, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about surveys needed before quoting a full clean and extracts that have never been grease tested.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Grease, kitchens and Egham Wick
Look up Egham Wick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Egham Wick, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in Egham Wick. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Egham Wick. 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.
For schools such as St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, or anywhere in Egham Wick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Egham Wick
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Egham Wick, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
For TR19 inspection in Egham Wick, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. If the system at a site near Egham Wick fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 any work starts, so there are no surprises.
