TR19 inspection in Epsom Downs
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sections of duct that can’t be reached, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Epsom Downs, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Epsom Downs
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Epsom Downs?
That is Reigate and Banstead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Epsom Downs. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Epsom Downs be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Epsom Downs?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- File every inspection report with your certificates
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Epsom Downs?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Epsom Downs, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Epsom Downs
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Epsom Downs kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 86 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 35 takeaways and sandwich shops in Epsom Downs and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Epsom Downs. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Epsom Downs, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Warren Mead Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom General Hospital about 1.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
