TR19 inspection in Nork
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Around a smaller place like Nork, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Nork: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nork?
That’s Reigate and Banstead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nork. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nork?
Nork is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Nork
Look up Nork on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops across Nork 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. The fire and rescue service for Nork is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Nork. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Warren Mead Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nork is Banstead Hospital, about 1.7 miles north-east.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals are not affected.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Nork?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A kitchen near Banstead station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and we clear up before we go. A site near Nork typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
