Signs you need TR19 inspection in Goldsworth Park
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Goldsworth Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
How we handle TR19 inspection in Goldsworth Park
Taking on a kitchen in Goldsworth Park with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. We are often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
For a smaller kitchen near Goldsworth Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Goldsworth Park: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Goldsworth Park?
That’s Woking council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Goldsworth Park. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Goldsworth Park?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Goldsworth Park is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
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.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What affects the quote in Goldsworth Park
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
TR19 inspection around Goldsworth Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 87 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 45 takeaways and sandwich shops across Goldsworth Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Fire safety in Goldsworth Park falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Goldsworth Park are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Botleys Mansion is about 4.4 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 1.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Goldsworth Park can typically be finished without a second trip.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests

- Access surveys
Managing agents and facilities teams in Goldsworth Park
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
