TR19 inspections and grease testing in Littleton, Surrey
We cover Littleton for TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Littleton.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
TR19 inspection in Littleton, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you’re dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Littleton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

TR19 inspection around Littleton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Littleton, up to about a mile and a half out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Littleton sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Littleton get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Littleton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Littleton is Ashford Hospital, about 2.3 miles north.
Littleton is about 2 miles south of Ashford, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Littleton, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
When to call us in Littleton
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Littleton CofE Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Littleton
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Why it’s worth doing now in Littleton
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Somewhere as small as Littleton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Littleton: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Littleton?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Littleton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Littleton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Littleton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you cover Littleton?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Littleton.
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.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
