How we handle TR19 inspection in Mayes Green

If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Mayes Green and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and parts of the system left out of past cleans.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Mayes Green questions

Can you work in Mayes Green outside opening hours?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Mayes Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mayes Green?

Fire safety enforcement in Mayes 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.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?

Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Is Mayes Green in your area?

Yes. We cover Mayes Green and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?

Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.

What affects the quote in Mayes Green

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • The times the site is available
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The condition of the system

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mayes Green

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

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 on a regular cycle.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Access surveys
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Insurer audits

Keeping the system healthy

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • File every inspection report with your certificates
  • Keep the route to access panels clear
  • Tell us if menus or opening hours change
  • Book the next test on the date in the report

Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.

Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.

What happens on the day

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mayes Green, let us know and we will plan around it.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. We photograph each area to record how it was left.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice

Do you need TR19 inspection in Mayes Green?

Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
  • Uncertainty over how often to clean
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning

Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Mayes Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether VAT is included
