Limpsfield kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 30 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Limpsfield. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Limpsfield are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Limpsfield is 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic is the nearest hospital to Limpsfield, about 0.6 miles west.

TR19 inspection in Limpsfield
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Somewhere as small as Limpsfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests

Limpsfield questions
Can you work in Limpsfield outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Limpsfield needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Limpsfield?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Limpsfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Why act early in Limpsfield
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Limpsfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Limpsfield
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If you run a café or takeaway near Oxted station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
How the visit works
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 couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Limpsfield.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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 we start.
