What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A site near Kingswood that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

- A fixed price before any work starts

About our TR19 inspection in Kingswood
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you’re dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can help, from insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Kingswood gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Kingswood
Is Kingswood within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kingswood included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Kingswood during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Kingswood, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Tell us when your site near Kingswood is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Never cook with filters missing
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingswood
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Kingswood and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Kingswood
Food Standards Agency records list about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kingswood. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Fire safety in Kingswood falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Kingswood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 2.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Kingswood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Kingswood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
