- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract

TR19 inspection in Mytchett
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Mytchett are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Mytchett
Food Standards Agency data counts about 56 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mytchett. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Mytchett sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Mytchett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 4.9 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mytchett Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Mytchett
Can you work in Mytchett outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Mytchett does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Mytchett within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mytchett is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We plan the journey to Mytchett and bring what the job is likely to need.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. In a smaller place like Mytchett, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
