About our TR19 inspection in Fernhill
Taking on a kitchen in Fernhill with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. Typical jobs include cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, across insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Fernhill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Fernhill
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Fernhill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Fernhill
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Fernhill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Fernhill questions
Can you get to a site in Fernhill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fernhill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Fernhill?
Fire safety enforcement in Fernhill is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with photos
- We diagnose before we treat

TR19 inspection in Fernhill: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fernhill. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Fernhill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Crawley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Fernhill is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oakwood School or anywhere near Fernhill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
