Your questions about TR19 inspection in Egypt
Which council inspects kitchens in Egypt?
The local authority for Egypt is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Egypt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Egypt?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
About our TR19 inspection in Egypt
Before any clean in Egypt, 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. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and uncertainty over how often to clean, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Egypt, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Egypt
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: 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 photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Egypt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts

Kitchen extracts in Egypt
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Egypt, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Egypt. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Egypt is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
In and around Egypt, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Egypt
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
When to call us in Egypt
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near Ebenezer Methodist Chapel or anywhere around Egypt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
