How we handle TR19 inspection in Martyr's Green
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you’re dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Martyr's 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Martyr's Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Martyr's Green
When a site in Martyr's Green changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Byfleet Manor is about 2.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
Martyr's Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Martyr's Green, 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. Martyr's Green is covered by 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. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Martyr's Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Woking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Martyr's Green, about 5.1 miles west.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Martyr's Green
Will you come out to Martyr's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Martyr's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Martyr's Green are carried out by Elmbridge council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Martyr's Green.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
