TR19 inspections and grease testing in Netherne on-the-Hill, Greater London
TR19 inspection for Netherne on-the-Hill and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Netherne on-the-Hill
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Kitchens in Netherne on-the-Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’re 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.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
TR19 inspection in Netherne on-the-Hill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Netherne on-the-Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. In Netherne on-the-Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Lawrence's Hospital (about 1.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Coulsdon Sixth Form College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Netherne on-the-Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Netherne on-the-Hill is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
To help 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 email us.

Is parking a problem for work in Netherne on-the-Hill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Netherne on-the-Hill, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Who inspects food businesses in Netherne on-the-Hill?
The local authority for Netherne on-the-Hill is Reigate and Banstead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
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 price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
