How we handle TR19 inspection in Holmwood Corner
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a small place like Holmwood Corner, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Holmwood Corner: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Holmwood Corner?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Holmwood Corner. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Holmwood Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Holmwood Corner
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system

What to send for a quote

Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Holmwood Corner
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
