TR19 inspection in Hambledon, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hambledon and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have uncertainty over how often to clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Other services in Hambledon
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
When to call us in Hambledon
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. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Look out for any of the following:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A kitchen near Witley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Why deal with it now?

Hambledon questions
Is Hambledon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hambledon?
Kitchens in Hambledon are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Hambledon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
