How we price TR19 inspection

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The size of the system

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What we need to know

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • A few general shots of the system

About our TR19 inspection in Grayswood

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. We’re often asked to deal with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.

In a village or hamlet like Grayswood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Grayswood?

Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Missing TR19 certificates or history
  • Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Grayswood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Grayswood

Can you come to Grayswood after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in villages like Grayswood?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Grayswood is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?

We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What is post-clean verification?

Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.

How much does TR19 inspection cost in Grayswood?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Where does the waste go?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Aftercare tips

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Tell us if menus or opening hours change
  • Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
  • Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
  • Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together

Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.

Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Kitchen extracts in Grayswood

Look up Grayswood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Grayswood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Grayswood. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Grayswood sits within the area of 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.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Grayswood, about 1.2 miles south-west.

Why deal with it now?

If a kitchen in Grayswood 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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Grayswood affects everyone who depends on it.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix

  • Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first

What we do, step by step

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Grayswood before we set off.

  1. We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
  2. We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
  3. Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
  4. We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
  5. You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Move anything stored near the system

Get a fixed quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
