TR19 inspection in Lingfield, done properly
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. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Around a smaller place like Lingfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. Around Lingfield, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Lingfield
When a site in Lingfield changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Lingfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common questions in Lingfield
Do you cover smaller places like Lingfield?
Yes. Lingfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Lingfield?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lingfield. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
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.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lingfield. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lingfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that.

What the work involves, part by part

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Lingfield
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
