Hatchford TR19 inspection
Need TR19 inspection in Hatchford? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection in Hatchford, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Somewhere as small as Hatchford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
FAQs for Hatchford
Which fire service covers Hatchford?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hatchford. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Hatchford?
In Hatchford, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hatchford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Hatchford kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hatchford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for Hatchford is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Hatchford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 5.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hatchford (Byfleet Manor is about 2.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Hatchford is about 5 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. From the centre of Hatchford to the outskirts, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Hatchford among them. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 7 miles from Hatchford.

Around Hatchford
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Forest and the Highlands and The Black Swan pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Effingham Junction station, roughly 1.3 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Send and Ripley History Society Museum (2.7 miles west) and Woking Community Hospital (5.3 miles west). For a walk, there’s Papercourt Marshes and Boldermere Lake.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
