Common problems we fix in Molesey
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Orchard Infant School or anywhere near Molesey, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
About our TR19 inspection in Molesey
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Kitchens around a place like Molesey are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a smaller place like Molesey, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests

Molesey: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Molesey?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Molesey. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is Molesey within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Molesey is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Molesey
Food Standards Agency data counts about 62 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in Molesey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Molesey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Molesey 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Molesey, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Hampton Court station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Molesey
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What affects the quote in Molesey
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
