TR19 inspection in Friday Street
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Friday Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Common problems we fix in Friday Street
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Friday Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Friday Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
TR19 inspection around Friday Street
Food hygiene inspections in Friday Street are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Friday Street is covered by 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.
For schools such as Belmont Prep School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
