How we handle TR19 inspection in Haslemere
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Haslemere, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Haslemere
Do you work overnight in Haslemere?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Haslemere needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Haslemere?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Haslemere is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.

What affects the quote in Haslemere
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For TR19 inspection in Haslemere, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A site near Haslemere usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Haslemere
Look up Haslemere on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Haslemere. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Haslemere is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Haslemere are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a café or takeaway near Haslemere station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shottermill Infant School or anywhere near Haslemere, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Haslemere
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Christopher or anywhere around Haslemere, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
