TR19 inspection in Hinchley Wood
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Hinchley Wood and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. We’re often asked to deal with checking the result of a recent clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Hinchley Wood, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease, kitchens and Hinchley Wood
Look up Hinchley Wood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 59 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hinchley Wood. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hinchley Wood. 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 Hinchley Wood get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hinchley Wood Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you cook for passing trade around Hinchley Wood station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Hinchley Wood: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hinchley Wood during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hinchley Wood. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hinchley Wood?
Hinchley Wood is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hinchley Wood can usually be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hinchley Wood
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
A hospital like Tolworth Hospital, about 2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
