Surrey · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Hoe
Our technicians work in Hoe on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits

TR19 inspection in Hoe
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Work in a small place like Hoe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hoe and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
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.

What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- In business since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Grease, kitchens and Hoe
Look up Hoe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Hoe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Hoe falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Hoe. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 4 miles north), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hoe, about 5.6 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Hoe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Hoe: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hoe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hoe included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hoe?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hoe. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
