TR19 Inspection in Frimley
TR19 inspection for Frimley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We arrive in Frimley once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Frimley
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.
Many kitchens in a town like Frimley were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Common questions in Frimley
Which environmental health team covers Frimley?
That is Surrey Heath council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Frimley. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Frimley?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Frimley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Frimley?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
If you run a café or takeaway near Frimley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Frimley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Frimley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Frimley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Frimley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Frimley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Lakeside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
