TR19 inspections in Frensham
Looking for TR19 inspection in Frensham? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

About our TR19 inspection in Frensham
Before any clean in Frensham, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Frensham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Frensham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Frensham?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Frensham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Common questions in Frensham
Can school kitchens in Frensham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Frensham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Frensham?
The local authority for Frensham is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you work in Frensham?
Yes. Frensham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Kitchen extracts in Frensham
Look up Frensham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Frensham. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Frensham are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Frensham is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's CofE Aided 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 Chase Community Hospital about 5.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
