TR19 inspection in Lucas Green
Taking on a kitchen in Lucas Green with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you’re dealing with missing access panels found on survey and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Lucas Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

What else we do in Lucas Green
TR19 inspection in Lucas Green: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Lucas Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Lucas Green sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Lucas Green get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Brookwood Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Bisley CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Lucas Green
Can school kitchens in Lucas Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lucas Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lucas Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Lucas Green is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is Lucas Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Lucas Green included.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Lucas Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What we’re called out for in Lucas Green
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for any of the following:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity or anywhere around Lucas Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
What affects the quote in Lucas Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a place like Lucas Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
