TR19 inspection in Gomshall
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Gomshall has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Gomshall is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

FAQs for Gomshall
Will you come out to Gomshall?
Yes. Gomshall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Gomshall?
That is Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Gomshall. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Grease, kitchens and Gomshall
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Gomshall and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Gomshall sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Gomshall. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Church of St James or elsewhere in Gomshall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Shere CofE Aided Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Gomshall station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Gomshall is about 5 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Gomshall, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted.

Near you in Gomshall
In Gomshall, that means kitchens and buildings near Black Horse pub and Colekitchen Down and the streets around them. Gomshall has its own railway station: Gomshall station. Nearby you will also find Abinger Castle (2.2 miles south-east) and Shere Museum (0.6 miles west). Not far away are Silent Pool and Combe Bottom.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Gomshall knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
