TR19 inspection for sites in Hog Hatch

TR19 inspection in Hog Hatch, done properly

Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right.

In a smaller place like Hog Hatch, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Report grease dripping from the canopy
  • Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • Keep the route to access panels clear

If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.

Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.

Hog Hatch: your questions answered

Can a school canteen extract in Hog Hatch be done out of term time?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hog Hatch. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.

Do you work at weekends in Hog Hatch?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Hog Hatch can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What happens on a pre-clean survey?

We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

TR19 inspection around Hog Hatch

Look up Hog Hatch on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 34 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Hog Hatch, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Hog Hatch get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hog Hatch is covered by 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.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 4.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark the Evangelist Church or elsewhere in Hog Hatch, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Hog Hatch is about 2 miles north of Farnham, in Surrey.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What we are called out for in Hog Hatch

Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Uncertainty over how often to clean
  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans
  • Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hog Hatch (Farnham Castle is about 0.9 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What your quote should include

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Whether the figure could change on the day

Our hiring checklist

What the work involves, part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.

Canopy and plenum

Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

What a clean won’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • Mechanical faults in the extract
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Access surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Insurer audits
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Pre-clean surveys

What we do, step by step

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and we clear up before we go. Everything the job in Hog Hatch needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. We photograph each area to record how it was left.
  5. We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
