TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Heath End
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Heath End, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

TR19 inspection in Heath End: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 32 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Heath End. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Heath End. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Heath End get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Heath End (Farnham Castle is about 1.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mark the Evangelist Church, or anywhere in Heath End, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Heath End?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Farnham Heath End School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Planning a trip to Heath End ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Heath End and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
FAQs for Heath End
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Heath End?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Heath End. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Heath End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Heath End included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.

We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
