How we handle TR19 inspection in Newchapel
Taking on a kitchen in Newchapel with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a small place like Newchapel, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
What affects the quote in Newchapel
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Newchapel, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
What we are called out for in Newchapel
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Imberhorne School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

TR19 inspection around Newchapel
Look up Newchapel on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Newchapel and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Newchapel, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Newchapel 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newchapel is Queen Victoria Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Saint Hill Manor is about 4 miles south), access may need planning.

Questions from Newchapel
Do you work overnight in Newchapel?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Newchapel?
Yes, Newchapel is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
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.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Never cook with filters missing
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
