TR19 inspection for sites in Loxhill

TR19 inspection around Loxhill

Kitchens in Loxhill get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley 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. The fire and rescue service for Loxhill is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Loxhill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 3.4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Loxhill

A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.

Work in a small place like Loxhill 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.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • File every inspection report with your certificates
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
  • Keep to the recommended interval

Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.

Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

How the job changes from site to site

Horizontal duct runs

Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Loxhill

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The times the site is available
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • How big the system is

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

For landlords and multi-site operators

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

FAQs for Loxhill

Which fire authority looks after Loxhill?

It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Loxhill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Can the work in Loxhill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Loxhill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?

Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

What do the grease readings need to be?

Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.

How long does grease testing take?

Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.

Leave it or put it right?

Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

  • Each visit written up, with pictures
  • Full insurance on every job

What happens on the day

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Loxhill run smoothly.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. Grease readings are taken again at set points.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
