TR19 Inspection in Ewell
We cover Ewell for TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
TR19 inspection in Ewell, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you are dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Ewell, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Ewell?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Ewell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Before the visit, a few pictures of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Ewell.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
