Surrey · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 Inspection in Flexford
One call covers TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification in Flexford, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.

- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
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.
TR19 inspection in Flexford, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We are often asked to deal with sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Flexford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Flexford
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Flexford?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Flexford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Flexford
Flexford is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. We cover Flexford, about 31 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Guildford Hospital (about 2.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Wyke Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Flexford is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Flexford, we can take on TR19 inspection. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Flexford is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for commercial clients.
Work in GU3 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on Christmaspie Avenue, Orchard Close and Cull's Road and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Flexford, we cover Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wanborough (1 mile south-east), Normandy (1 mile north), Willey Green (1 mile north-east) and Wyke (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (7 miles north-east), Camberley (7 miles north), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (14 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Flexford
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Ash Manor School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Flexford itself: Wanborough station. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east) and Guildford Castle (4.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Ash Ranges and Hog's Back.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Flexford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Flexford
Who is the fire and rescue service for Flexford?
Flexford is in the area of 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Flexford?
The local authority for Flexford is Guildford 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.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Flexford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: 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. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
