FAQs for Lower Green
Which environmental health team covers Lower Green?
The local authority for Lower Green is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Lower Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lower Green. 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.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Lower Green
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and access surveys, and people most often call us about sections of duct that can’t be reached and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Lower Green, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lower Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and cannot be reached.
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.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Lower Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What else we do in Lower Green
Common problems we fix in Lower Green
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lower Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Lower Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Green. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Lower Green are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Lower Green 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (about 2.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cranmere Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
