- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Elmbridge Village
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Elmbridge Village, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Elmbridge Village
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. In a small place like Elmbridge Village, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Elmbridge Village.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Elmbridge Village questions
Which fire service covers Elmbridge Village?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Elmbridge Village. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Elmbridge Village out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Elmbridge Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?

Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
