TR19 inspection in Frimley Green, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help.
Around a smaller place like Frimley Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Frimley Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Frimley Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Frimley Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Frimley Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Frimley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cross Farm Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Common problems we fix in Frimley Green
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Frimley Park Hospital (about 1.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from Frimley Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Frimley Green?
Kitchens in Frimley Green are inspected by Surrey Heath council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Frimley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
