TR19 inspection in Linchmere
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Linchmere
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Linchmere
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Linchmere. 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. The fire and rescue service for Linchmere is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woolmer Hill School or anywhere near Linchmere, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 2.9 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Questions from Linchmere
Which council inspects kitchens in Linchmere?
Kitchens in Linchmere are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Linchmere?
Linchmere is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
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 do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Linchmere is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Linchmere
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
What we are most often called out for:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Linchmere, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
